How can I dynamically make a button or a field invisible?
 
This is because I'm saving the document as a jpg image to store it later in a imaging management system but I don't want the buttons to appear.
 
How can i change a property of a field, button, etc usin javascript in the click event of a SaveAs button??

Thom:

Thank you very much!!

I read the articles and placed the following code in the Documents (WillSave) action:

this.getField("Button2").display = display.hidden;


But I'm getting the following error:


TypeError: this.getField("Button2") has no properties
1:Doc:Will Save

What am I doing wrong??

Regards,

jesús
