Saving forms with hidden Pages "visible"

[Former Community Member]

Hi,



I just started using this last week and am totally new to this and have the faintest idea of programming.



Managed to create a form which has a few hidden pages that appear when a certain box is ticked. They have been set to presence="hidden" in the forms Initialize script.



However whenever I save the form and reopen it starts with all the pages hidden again..... I need to retick the box to have the hidden pages appear again.



Can anyone please explain me a way / script that would enable the pages to be visible upon opening the form if the box is checked and to be hidden when the box is not checked.



Thereby if a the box gets ticked it will save the required pages visible and if it gets unticked it will save the required pages hidden.



I am assuming I need to have some preSave script that changes the Initialize script according to the status of the checkbox..... but I seem to be in some kind of freaky 4day long nightmare trying to find a way to do this script.



Help would be extremely appreciated.



Thx.

I finally got it to work in my form. I was using the incorrect event. I placed the following in the "initialize" event for the check box and it remains "visible" after saving.



if(this.rawValue==1)

{form1.p1.SF.SF2.SF3.presence="visible";}

else

{form1.p1.SF.SF2.SF3.presence="hidden";}

Select Subform4...7 and made them hidden (go to Object pallet: Subform TAB -> select Hidden (Exclude from layout) as presence value).

Then depends on ur check box value make the required subform presence hidden/visible.

ex: write script on  COLORVIEW change event

if

(this.rawValue == 1){

Subform*.presence

Subform*.presence

="visible";="hidden";="hidden";

Subform*.presence

} else{

="visible";="hidden";="hidden";

Subform*.presence

Subform*.presence

Subform*.presence

}

I have made the subforms hidden exclude from layout. I don't know how to insert the script into the form. I must be missing something simple.

I am still stuck.  I don't know where to place or how to place the condition/script on the check box.

here is what was presented so far:

Select Subform4...7 and made them hidden (go to Object pallet: Subform TAB -> select Hidden (Exclude from layout) as presence value).

Then depends on ur check box value make the required subform presence hidden/visible.

ex:

if

(this.rawValue == 1){

Subform*.presence

="visible";Subform*.presence

="hidden";Subform*.presence

="hidden";}

Please check the files for reference in the link: https://acrobat.com/#d=ItjkuOFTek3sP7I-qQ6MHg

and make sure while saving the file save it as "Adobe Dynamic.....". this u can select while doing save/save As pop-up.

Oh my gosh....... can't believe its that simple.....

The amount of hours I tried it, in my case I am now using the script in both events, the initialize and change. when the box gets ticked the following page shows up. then once save reopening the doc will show that page directly.



Fantastic.



Thanks a lot.
