Separating a 4 page form with global field bindings

[contien]

I have a 4 page form that uses global binding for the Name, Address, etc. fields that are common to each of the pages.  When the end-user fills out the form is it possible to break-out each of the 4 pages?  (each of the 4 pages on the form is routed to a different office)   If there is a solution, will the end user need to use Acrobat?

When yo route the form all 4 pages will be included .....but you can hide and show different pages so that it looks

like only one is sent (and they woudl see only the info that was intended for them). Would this be an acceptable solution?

Yes, that would be an acceptable solution.

Could you please detail how I can hide 3 of the 4 pages?  Does the 1st and 4th page have a different "hiding schema" than pages 2 and 3?

Thanks!

I am assuming that each page would have its own name (Page1, Page2, Page3 and Page4). W

hen you are ready you can use the presence property to hide the pages you want. So

if I wanted to send Page1 then you would use the commands:

Page2.presence = "hidden";

Page3.presence = "hidden";

Page4.presence = "hidden";

When you are ready to show the pages again then you woudl use the keyword visible for the presence so the commands would be:

Page2.presence = "visible";

etc.....

Perfect!  Thank you very much for your help Paul.

Paul,

Thinking this out a little further:  Would it be possible to place 4 buttons at the end of the 4 page form with button 1's action= "submit Page 1", button 2's action="submit Page 2". etc.?  Could button 1 hide pages 2,3 and 4 and submit via email?  Button 2 would hide pages 1,3 and 4, etc.

Thanks for your help!

A submit will send all fields that are bound. The binding is not dynamin - maening that I cannot change the binding on the fly. So if you are intending on sending all fields at one point or other then they must be bound at start up.....and the submitting of prts of a form is not possible. The hiding of the pages is possible but the submit will send all data or the entire form.
