Linking checkboxes with Action Builder

[Dave_needs_help]

Hello everyone!

I am a rookie with this new Action Builder tool...

I have a form that contains many checkboxes.  I would like that when I check a "main" checkbox, it automatically checks other checkboxes.

The condition part of this program is fairly easy : When Checkbox1 is checked...  But I can't find a "result" in the drop down list that could help me realize exactly what I want to do!

Can someone help me with this?  Thank you very much

Dave

Hi Dave,

In the dropdown you are looking for 'Set the value of a field' Action Builder will recognise the object as a checkbox and automatically present you with checked, unchecked, or neutral.

You would need to go through a set up an action for each individual checkbox.

Good luck,

Niall

Thank you very much for your help!

Is there something I need to activate so that it works when I switch to the PDF Overview?

Hi Dave,

I suspect that if you look in the File > Form Properties  > Preview tab, you will have Preview set to 'Print Form'.

Change this to 'Interactive Form' and the script should work in preview.

Hope that works,

Niall

Unfortunately it doesn't work, the preview was already set to Interactive Form...

Hi,

Not sure what is going wrong. Here is a sample which was developed using Action Builder. https://acrobat.com/#d=TMfkRbAJ6yWhrwxUEp9J0w

You could try this, as it works here in Preview (inside LC Designer).

Good luck,

Niall

The problem was finally with the names I gave my checkboxes, they contained dots!!

Thanks for your help Niall!
