Cancel Next Action

No, the actions on a button event are independant of each other. The correct way to do this is to combine the two scripts. Then place the code in the second script into an "if" block that tests some parameter that is set by the first block.

Thank you for your reply.

That makes sense. My second script though is a 'Submit Form', which I didn't actually create, but selected the options Acrobat gave me. How can I submit a form using JavaScript? Need all fields in HTML format.

The process fails to navigate to my form. Could you please let me know what I'm missing?

var f = this.getField("Signature");
var f2 = f.value;
var v = f2.substring(0,3);
var myUrl = "http://www.MYSITE123.com/FinalizePDF.aspx";
var myFormat = "HTML";
if (v !== '/s/')
{
app.alert({
cMsg: "Invalid Signature",
cTitle: "Please re-enter the signature.",
nIcon: 0,
nType: 1})
}
ELSE
{
this.submitForm({
cUrl: myURL,
cSubmitAs: myFormat})
};

The parameter is "cURL". Details are important!

For testing you need to run small sections of the code by themselves. For example just the submitForm line to make sure everything is setup properly. This is what the console window is for.

JS is case-sensitive. Use "else" instead of "ELSE".

thomp and try67: Thank you for your help.

Here's what works:

var f = this.getField("Signature");
var f2 = f.value;
var v = f2.substring(0,3);
var myUrl = "http://www.MYSITE123XYZ.com/FinalizePDF.aspx";
var myFormat = "HTML";
if (v !== '/s/')
{
app.alert({
cMsg: "Invalid Signature",
cTitle: "Please re-enter the signature.",
nIcon: 0,
nType: 1})
}
else
{
this.submitForm({
cURL: myUrl,
cSubmitAs: myFormat})
};
