I meant to say change event per what your example was. I guess it is an intersting bit of info that rawValue will work in the change event of a checkbox. I'll stick to using xfa.event.newText to be consistent and ensure someone looking at my code to apply to something else doesn't have a problem.

You need to use xfa.event.newText in the calculate event. rawValue will give the old value.

"Is there any way I can achieve directly using bindings since we are trying to minimize javascript that changes the layout of the form?"Yes. Have you created a Schema, data connection to it and bound your form elements? If you bind two elements to the same item in the data connection, when you chang...

JavaScript in a button click or maybe a check box:TextField1.presence = "hidden";TextField1.presence = "visible";The sub form the items are in and all above it in the tree must have autosize on height.

Drop box is blocked for me.rawValue is not changed yet in the change event. You need to use xfa.event.newText.The global variable thing seems a waste to me. Can't you just reference the rawValue of each check box in the calculate event of the text field?

I don't have an ID and am not going to create one to open the file.What is this setting: File > Form Properties > Defaults tab > Preserve scripting changes to form when saved? If manual, try automatic. If already automatic, in what event are you setting the access to open.

When you say binding, do you mean an array index? Have you created an XML Schema? The first step i perform when creating a form is to create an XML Schema, create a Data Connection in the form with that Schema and bind all my form elements to their corresponding data items. I don't understand what i...

It also works on my system to add a blank item at Design time. Maybe it is a difference in the Acrobat version that the blank item is removed. I would try removing the blank item at design time and adding in the initialize event to see if it fixes it on the users system.

I don't hink you will be able to merge them as form based PDFs. Most if not all third party libraries for PDFs don't handle them. Maybe install Acrobat Pro on a server, set it up somehow to print to PDF to use that the 'flatten' the form into a non-interactive one that third party tools can deal wit...

If the exported XML is the same, I doubt adding a schema will help other than it may make the file growth smaller. I am thinking the extra data after the EOF is the form data, multiple saves, save multiple copies and opening in Acrobat combines it all together. It is just a theory though.
