Sangeetha,



Check out xfa.host.messageBox. Here's an example, that displays a dialog with with Yes/No buttons and a question mark icon....



// result will contain 3 if they press No or 4 for Yes

var result = xfa.host.messageBox("Would you like to do something?","The Window Title",2,2);



The full reference can be found at...

Hi Sangeetha,

                  Looks like all you need is simple "response" method. Review the documentation under help. Following is the JS syntax for response method. I always use this in my forms and delivered with LC, so not have to pay extract cost if you do not need all that fancy things.

xfa.host.response("Question", "Title", "Default Value");

Good Luck,

Hello,

sorry i didnt understand your email

Can you describe your method with more detailed?

Perhaps it is practicable for me, but i am not sure.

I would like to creat a PDF-Document with "popups" implemented in this PDF, which is normaly not visible, only when another user opens this PDF he should move the mouse-cursor over a certain term and then the popup should be visible.

The Popup should not be able to be changed by the other user. It should be fixed.

Do you have un idea how to implement popups (with text, or grafics) in a PDF-Document?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sangeetha,

         GKaiseril included nice example. However since your requirements are clear I would like you consider one other feature available with in LC. We have tooltip feature which may come handy and easy to implement (no scripting involved). This comes with only text but customizable...........check under Accessibility (Shift+F6) pallet.

Good luck,

The example was implemented with the use of a mouse click, but in can also work with the enter event and a little smart field stacking.

For something like that, you might want to look at AcroDialogs from WindJack...

Hi Sangeetha,

i saw your question about creating a popup.

I would like to creat a popup in a PDF with Adobe Acrobat Profession Version 7 or 8.

Do you know how to create a popup which is normally invisible, only when the cursor is above a certain term then the popup is getting visible?

Do you know if it is possible to insert pictures or Power-Point-Screens in a popup on a PDF?

It would be great if you could help me!!

Please send me an EMail to:  rubito1@gmx.de

Thanks for your help!!

Greetings
