Hi,

I am new to PDF forms so sorry for my bad english

 

I have Acrobat X pro.

I would like to show text in text box when check box is "on" and when check box is off I would like to hide text in the text box.

JavaScript.

 

Any help would be much appreciated

    In the Mouse Up event of the check box, you could use the following script:

     

     

    // Mouse Up script of check box

    getField("text1").display = event.target.value === "Off" ? display.hidden : display.visible;

     

     

    That hides/shows the entire field. If you just want to show/hide the text in the field and still display the field, you could do:

     

     

    getField("text1").value = event.target.value === "Off" ? "" : "default text goes here";

     

     

    Replace "text1" with the actual name of the text field.
