float

[_Matthias_]

Hi,

here I've got a simple example to flow:

First thing which is strange is that only after clicking "ja" on and off, it flows.

Second thing is that I only tested it here and now I want to do it in a "bigger"/another file. The "big"/another file has the same attitudes as the "small" one:

Page 4: flowed, no data binding and repeat row for each data item

Material: position, normal data binding and no repeat for each data item

Only the hierarchy is a different one:

but it don’t work. Why?

Thanks in advance for helping me!

Hi Matthias,

Your script looks good and I use the click event with checkboxes, without trouble.

The only suggestion would be to put quotation marks around the 1 in the if statement: if (this.rawValue == "1") and check the on/off values in the checkbox binding tab (on=1 off=0).

Good luck,

Niall

Hi Niall,

thank you for your help but it doesn't help. Sorry. If you have any other possibilities please let me know them. (I'm not in hurry with this form.)

(I want that if "JA" isn't clicked that the "nein" comes directly after "ja")

Hi Matthias,

Try saving the form as Dynamic and when previewing press Control+J to bring up the JavaScript console to check for errors. You could also include a line to check that the value of Ja is changing when clicked:

console.println("Ja: " + Ja.rawValue);

Your script looks OK, can you share the form?

Hi Niall,

thanks for your hints! The form is a dynamic form. Other things (which are similiar like this:

flow correctly)

The value of Ja is changing when clicked !

But my problem now is that there is a big gap between the buttons Ja und Nein when the Ja isn't clicked.

Could the presence "hidden"/ "invisible" be a reason for it? Should I change it into this one?

Thanks in advance for helping me!

The JavaScript Debugger shows me this after enabling him:

But I have no idea how I got this message that he isn't enabled and how I can do it again to check the other inspects like "Global Variables (this)"...?

Hi Matthias,

Just on the Javascript Console the message is the standard Acrobat start up messages. Just clear these and by hitting the trash can in the bottom right corner. Then leave the Javascript Console open and click the Ja checkbox multiple times. Does an error come up?

Hi Niall,

I can't click the Ja button in the pdf preview.

OK Matthias,

I think I now know what the problem is...

You are correctly using 'hidden' instead of 'invisible' to remove the particular subform from the layout and while parts of your form are set to Flowed, the particular subform containing the checkboxes and the visible/hidden subform is set to Positioned.

Set 'Anreise' (I think) to Flowed, which will allow the 'hidden' script to remove the visible/hidden subform and allow object below to flow up and take the now vacant space.

Hope that works,

Niall

ps Watch out for your script in the 'weitere' button. The parameter in the addInstance(1) is correct. Here the '1' parameter stands for true. However in the removeInstance the parameter tells Acrobat the actual row to be removed on a zero-numbered basis. So your script will always remove the second row in the table. Without seeing the form I can't be sure, but it should look something like this:

_weitere.removeInstance(this.parent.index);

Hi Matthias,

If you can't interact with the form in Preview, go to the File  > Form Properties and Preview Tab and select 'Interactive Form' from the preview type dropdown:

Hi Niall,

oh, that is a lot of work whicht takes time now but I think that this is the right way because I've tested it in a small form. Thank you for your help!!

Have a nice time
