Amy,

 

I forgot to point out that radio buttons and check boxes require slightly different code, although I can't explain why.

 

For example, suppose that field #2 on page 1 was a set of radio buttons or a check box.  Then use logic similar to the following for the "Mouse Up Action" for every radio-button and check-box field on page 1:

 

var f1 = this.getField("Pg1Field2");

var f2 = this.getField("Pg2and3Field2");

f2.value = f1.value;

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.

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.

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
