Adobe Acrobat

Answered

In LiveCycle Designer ES2, I have created a drop down list which selects certain company logos to appear on the title page of a document. That is all working fine but I want the drop down list to be hidden when the document is printed. What code should I be including in the script to make this happen?

Here is the document that I have been working on if this helps

Below is the current coding that I have so far;

topmostSubform.Page1.Subform1.DropDownList1::change - (FormCalc, client)
// Code written by Tim Huff - Business Development Manager for Acrobat Sept 9 2007

// Populate a variable (sNewValue) with the Current Value of the Drop-down list using the newText event.
var sNewValue = $.boundItem(xfa.event.newText)

// Test your variable agaist the name of the Image Object. The names for each Image object is listed under the Image
if (sNewValue == "OneSteel") then //Let's hide the Acrobat Logo
OneSteel.presence = "visible";
NatSteel.presence = "invisible";
ARC.presence = "invisible";
ActiveSteel.presence = "invisible";
NeumannSteel.presence = "invisible";
Pryme.presence = "invisible";
Wagners.presence = "invisible";
MeshBar.presence = "invisible";
WireIndustries.presence = "invisible";

elseif (sNewValue == "NatSteel") then //Let's hide the Acrobat Pro Box
NatSteel.presence = "visible";
OneSteel.presence = "invisible";
ARC.presence = "invisible";
ActiveSteel.presence = "invisible";
MeshBar.presence = "invisible";
NeumannSteel.presence = "invisible";
Pryme.presence = "invisible";

You don't need to do anything with a script. In LiveCycle Designer, on the Object tab, set the presence to "Visible(Screen Only)".
