RE: [PDF-Forms] Read Only Form Fields

[Day, Tim G.]

Amy,   Actually, the following code, which appears to work, is quite simple, but it has to be included as the "Custom Validate Script" under the "Validate" tab under Field Properties for every field on page 1 (that appears on all 3 pages and whose values are not to be changed on pages 2 and 3).  (I'm assuming a 3-page form.)   var f1 = this.getField("Pg2and3Field1"); f1.value = event.value;   Where field "Pg2and3Field1" is the corresponding field on pages 2 and 3 for the current field on page 1.   As you mentioned earlier, make the fields on pages 2 and 3 Read Only, and the users will be able to change the values of a field on pages 2 and 3 only by changing the value of the corresponding field on page 1.   Let me know if the preceding is not clear or if the form doesn't work correctly after implementing the above logic.   Tim Day (404) 498-1505   -----Original Message----- From: Amy Sachs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 8:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PDF-Forms] Read Only Form Fields   Tim,   If you could do that for me I would be incredibly grateful.  There are many forms that I am converting that will also need to be formatted that way.  You would save me!  Thank you so much for your help.   Amy "Day, Tim G." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Amy,   This is admittedly not necessarily a simple solution, but I would use the same names for the fields on the last two pages but different from the fields on the first page.  Then I would write _javascript_ to assign the fields on the last two pages the same value as the fields on the first page.  I can plan to provide that code tomorrow if that would help.   -----Original Message----- From: Amy Sachs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 4:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Forms] Read Only Form Fields   Hey everyone!   Here's the problem I have to create forms in Adobe which before were made in a print shop.  Many forms have more than one copy for distribution throughout the company.  I am aware of how to create duplicate form fields so that info typed on the first page will also be entered on the corresponding pages simultaneously.  My problem is that I want to make the last two pages' form fields Read Only so that the info can't be accidentally changed on one of the pages.  If I make a form field Read Only on the second or third page this also changes the form field on the first page to Read Only as well (which I don't want).  Is there some simple solution to this problem that I am overlooking? (I have "Creating Adobe Acrobat Forms" by Ted Padova on hand.)  Any advice?   Thanks, Amy Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
