How can I merge 3 or more individual text fields into an editable summary text field?

I am stuck and do not know where to begin. I am self taught in using Adobe LiveCycle and have found many answers here in the forums and via trial and error.
I cannot find or create the correct java script or form calc to feed multiple text fields into one text field.  My supervisor is asking me to do this for two sections of a form I created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.
1)       Merge all 3 user entered text fields to an user editable summary text field at the end of the form.
2)       Merge all 24 user entered text fields to an user editable summary text field at the end of the form.
Since they are all individual text fields in response to various questions, I cannot use the global binding function. I do not want the summary text field to override the individual text fields.
Here is the java scripting I placed on Show: calculate* Language: javascript Run: at client
1) PDStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + OCStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + CEBAStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue;
Needless to say, these instructions are not working on my form. Would someone with a lot of experience or an IT degree kindly help me?

I just tried adding the front end as you suggested and confirmed that the Object > Value is set to "calculated - user can override" for the summary text field.
OverallAnalysisAppFeedback.rawValue = PDStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + OCStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_"  + CEBAStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue;
I was still unsuccessful.
I opened the debugger and received the following information. I do not understand what AdobeLiveCycle is asking me to define.
PDStrengthWeaknessComments is not defined

Do you have any additional tips or suggestions?

  • How can I create template documents for non-InDesign users to edit the text of later?

    I'm looking to produce a small system for people within my company to edit and print labels as needed that comply with our internal design standards. I would like to use InDesign to produce a few templates for labels that people could then edit one or two fields later on, things like item name and ID number. I'm not averse to producing a small application in XCode that users can start up, enter their data and it saves the printer-ready label sheet to their desktop. I started out using Acrobat Pro, but I'm running into trouble embedding fonts for use in form fields, centering text, and outputting a filled-in pdf for print use, and not a form that submits info to an email or server. If InDesign is the wrong tool for the job of setting up a template like this, please feel free to suggest another route.

    I would direct you to the Acrobat forums, personally. You can enable rich-text formatting of Acrobat form fields from within Acrobat Pro, and also IIRC embed fonts for use in form fields. If you can spec out what you mean by "fine detail that we'd need" then we, or someone over at the Acrobat forums, can tell you whether or not rich text in Acrobat forms will work for you. I suggest this to you because centering text for Acrobat form fields is dead easy, so I suspect you've not investigated the tools available in Acrobat after you've exported the PDF from InDesign.
    Post-export PDF data merge sounds like, I dunno, variable-data printing? which doesn't sound like it would fit your case.

  • I have and existing collection.  How can I merge images in a Quick Collection into the existing one?

    I wish to add images to an existing collection.  Currently I want to add images in a Quick Collection into an already named collection.  I am using LR3.  How do I do that?

    Select and then right-click the collection that you want the images added into. Select <Set as Target Collection>. A "+" sign appears besides this collection.
    Then select your Quick Collection (or whatever images you want to add to this collection) in the Grid Mode. Click Ctrl/Cmd + A to select all images in this collection. Then press letter "B" on your keyboard. That will add all these images to your target selection.

  • How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

    How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

    Is this an actual field, or just some piece of static text somewhere? Either way, you can't do it using the Split Document command. You'll need to use a custom-made script to read the value of this "field" and use it when extracting pages from the file.

    How can I merge phone Calls and make conference calls with iOS 8.1.1 and hang up on one instead of both of them , it's not giving me an option like before on iOS 7 ?

    The following from the 8.1 user manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf) may help

  • How can I merge my adobe account with my wife's account.

    How can I merge my adobe account with my wife's account. I had been using lightroom since 2011 up to version 4. I wanted to upgrade to version 5 and decided to just go with the Photographers package and I signed up for that. Now I have a conflict since we already have my wife's Creative suite 6 master collection on our PC and when I went to install LR and PS it made me install the Creative Cloud installer. It automatically link to my wife's account so it wont allow me to install LR since that isnt part of the Master Collection. Can I merge these 2 accounts in some way or can I log out of the Creative Clound under her name and log in under mine? I 'm guess I can't just log back and forth and I didn't want to try and mess it up even more.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    If that is even possible, it will have to be Adobe making that change... Contact Customer Care

  • How can I merge folder with the same name so that the content does not replace the other

    How can I merge folder with the same name so that the content does not replace the other?

    >
    That's only a good idea if the semantics of sayHello
    as defined in MyInterface suggest that a
    RemoteException could occur. If not, then you're
    designing the interface to suit the way the
    implementing classes will be written, which smells.
    :-)But in practice you can't make a call which can be handled either remotely or locally without, at some point, dealing with the RemoteException.
    Therefore either RemoteException must be part of the interface or (an this is probably more satisfactory) you don't use the remote interface directly, but MyInterface is implemented by a wrapper class which deals with the exception.

  • HT1918 how can I merge two itune accounts?

    I had an account for itunes and, not thinking, created another one tonight, so I have music under both accounts.  How can I merge the two?

    Sorry - you can't. You can keep the music from each iTunes account in the same library, but the purchased items will always be "owned" by the iTunes ID under which they are purchased.
    My husband and I both purchase music and other stuff on his Mac in iTunes under our own iTunes IDs. Both IDs are authorized to the Mac, and everything is housed in one iTunes library. I can download his music, and he can download mine.
    However, if, say, some of the music was removed from the library and we wanted to get it back in there, we would each individually have to go to our Purchased list to download the items that we purchased in order to get them all back into the library.
    Hope that explanation helps!
    Cheers,

    how can I merge two Apple-IDs?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Apple will not merge two Apple IDs, nor will Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

    As a student, you might be able to get Office for Mac from the college bookstore at a substantial discount. Otherwise, I think your best option for documents that need to be shared with Office users is to get one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice.

    You can't merge iCloud accounts.
    You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.
