Hidding a text field

Little correction needed!

if (CheckBox1.rawValue == "1")
{
TextField2.presence = "hidden";
}

And the script editor has to be set to JavaScript, not FormCalc!

I figured out how to hide the field when needed.

how can I hide the text field at opening of the PDF, and not show it until I check the checkbox.

Select the textfield in the design view, choose the preffered visiblity of it in the object tab.
Then place a script like posted before into the click event of your check box for example.

Still no luck? Check the help of LiveCycle Designer (F1) to get detailed help and examples!

Ok, this is what I did.

I made the textfield as invisible.

It goes away on the PDF.

Next I put in the script to make the field visible and it does not work.


If I put the field back to visible, and change the script to make it invisible, that works.

OK,

open your form with Acrobat and press ctrl + J to open the JavaScript Debugger-
Mark the checkbox to fire your script and look for an error message in the console.

Which one is it?

I figured out the issue. I had to do a Save As, dynamic document.

Thanks for your help.

Well, that's of course a reason for the probs you expected.
