named destinations

[Michael_Eisenm1]

I am trying to declare named destinations inside my PDF form and use a

comboBox to allow the user to jump directly to the desired section.

This seems like it should be simple -

But I am having some , unexpected, difficulty figuring out how to do this .

I have a combo Box with my pre-defined destinations listed and that's working fine -

What i do not know and having difficulty finding out is :

1. How do I create named destinations inside the PDF ?? and

2. how do I get the Form to move to the appropriate destination ??

As always, any help is appreciated.

Thanks

You can use the setFocus() function to jump to a desired object in your form.

This script will set the focus onto a textfield named "Textfield22" for example.

xfa.host.setFocus(xfa.resolveNode("Form1.#subform.Textfield22"))

Nice post -

I will create some new Header level text fields indicating the start of each Section and I have a script that

will set the focus to the appropriate section based on the selection from the comboBox -

NICE .

Thanks a lot
