Hi everyone!
I am brand new to Adobe LiveCycle. I convinced my employer (a top 15 university) to purchase LC so that I could build smartform pdfs for my department to make our jobs easier. I have gone through as many tutorials as I could find but the training resources for newbs in LC is terrible.
My goal is to build a smart pdf like the one found here http://www.wirb.com/Pages/DownloadForms.aspx. Specifically the one to the right of "Initial Review submission Form".
I want my forms to be interactive/dynamic based on radio button selection. Full disclosure, I am NOT a developer in any sense, I am a former USN/USCG paramedic with solid PC skills but no programming skills since BASIC, Fortran, etc. I run a clinical research oversight office. I have no experience with form design, Javascript, etc.
None of the Adobe ES4 (or earlier) documentation tells me how to do this with radio buttons or checkboxes. The only tutorials that were somewhat helpful were the ones from Tru Tech Troubleshooting on YouTube but even those were limited because there are no example files available to learn with.
I tried to reverse engineer the smartform I referenced above to see how they did it but their form is locked.
Being able to build dynamic forms would make me a hero in my office, perhaps the entire department, but if I cannot make the radio buttons dynamic, then this is a lost cause.
Can anyone help?
