order catalog

Hi,

I am trying to create an order catalogue where the user can select multiple products and see a list of items selected with price, description and total.

I started out looking at this topic http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=22085

The sample adobe store is not a great help as there's no explanation of how it was created in terms of the Java script. My knowledge of Java is zero.

I have managed to get as far as being able to manually put in a price with a total field that changes depending on a quantity field. But I do not know how to link that with an item in the catalogue.

I have also followed this tutorial http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/03/app_response_dialog_boxes

Which explains how to set up a dialogue box for quantity. But again it doesn't explain how to automatically add other fields such as description and price.

The method within the sample adobe store pdf looks over complicated and outdated? How can i modify the qty code mentioned in the app_response_dialog_boxes tutorial to automatically add description and price?

Thanks!

Find and download Ted Padovas "101 eForm Tips" and read tip 80 under Writing Javascripts.

This link will take you to an example catalog written with JavaScript code for an Acrobat developed PDF catalog. You can open this example and convert the code to LiveCycle.
