Popolate scripts
Hi,
I don't think this is your problem. The form should open in Acrobat.
One way would be to take the script and put it into a function. Then each textfield would call the function. One advantage is that the script is in one location which makes it easier to maintain.
First right-click on "form1" node and select "insert script object". It will appear unnamed in the hierarchy under Variables. Give it a unique name:
Click the script object and paste your script into it (script editor). Note that you can only use JavaScript in a script object.
Now at the start of the script define the function by giving it a unique name (different from the name of the script object); stating the variables from the form that will be used in the function and start the function with a curly bracket. Then go down to the end of your script and close the function with a curly bracket.
myFunction(str)
{
...
your script
...
} // close function
Then in the textfields you can call the function like this:
myScriptObject.myFunction(this.rawValue);
You would put this in the same event that the script was originally in. You would pass the same values to the function that was used originally in your script. Note that when you call the object you give the full SOM of the objects you are referencing (eg this.rawValue) but in the script object this is then referenced by "str", so you would use "str" throughout your function.
There are lots of examples of functions on the forum and on the Adobe website.
Hope that helps,

Hi Edigo,
If you look in the warnings tab and log you will see that one thing it doesn't like is the hyphens:
If you select an object and look in the Paragraph tab you will see that you have selected hyphenate. I can't deselect this for some reason:
So if you keep the object selected and go into the XML Source tab you will see the start of the object in the xml and further down you will see the paragraph/hyphenate setting:
Now if you selected the hyphenate line:
and delete it:
Go back to the Design view (clicking Yes to save the changes) and the tick will be gone from the hyphenate checkbox.
I have done the four textfields under Contact Hours. Can you test this in v7 and see if that works.
If it does then you would need to follow the same process of removing all occurrences of default__hyphenate from the XML Source.
Let me know how you get on.
Niall
Thanks a lot Niall. You did try a lot.
Do you think it because of the scripts? If so, Can you think of a alternative way to display the instructions by using other scripts or the like?
Otherwise, I just warn users not to use version 8.1 or 8.2. How do you think?

PS: I would find some ways to clear my head out of LC Designer also, even I'm just a newbie
