Coding Javascript/XML in PDF Forms

[BlueChrome]

I am doing some basic sums in PDF Forms using Javascript and XML. The form is 4 pages long, and I can't get the sum fields on page 4 to reference cells on page 1. Here is one of my sum scripts:

<calculate>
<script contentType="application/x-javascript">this.rawValue = II_TOTAL_REV_c.rawValue + II_6_c.rawValue + II_7_c.rawValue + II_8_c.rawValue + II_9_c.rawValue - II_10_c.rawValue;</script>
</calculate>

The sum field continues to read "0.00" even when data is entered into the reference cells

I see you found the "Post a Question" link ;)

Can you access the values on the second page?

No. I actually need to access fields on the first page from the second, and fields from the first three pages on the last. I noticed when I set the tab order that it reset to 1 every time I clicked on the next page, and I thought maybe it just does that, but now I'm wondering if I'm set up where each page is a separate section or something. I even tried referencing the page in the script (ie.

page2.field1.rawValue

) - to no avail.

Since the JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat is different from the ones used in web pages, I can't help much more than point you to the Developer Center for Acrobat. Good luck!

Interesting, thanks. I was studying one of their conversion manuals and noticed that they referenced subforms a lot. I looked into my document to see if it had any subforms and noticed it had subforms like P1, P3, etc. So I thought "Could P1=Page 1?" Yep. When I rewrote the script to reference P1.Field1.rawValue, it worked.

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah.

Well done. Glad you got it working and thanks for posting.
