Need to Show/hide text on later page dependent on Button

Ok, I am VERY new to Acrobat forms.  I am trying to use Acrobat X to build a large custom survey PDF form to be used on a variety of Tablet platforms (PC/Android/Mac) so I am trying to limit any "special" coding that different platforms might not support.
I have scanned the discussion boards and found lots of close examples, but nothing quite fits.
Situation is like this.  I have a LOTS of Radio Boxes, and Pull downs (16 pages worth)
Condition Red List
  [ ] Condition One
  [ ] Condition two
  [ ] condition three
Condition Green List
[ ] Condition One
[ ] Condition two
[ ] condition three
Some are exclusive (only one valid choice) others support multiples ( condition one AND three)
Easy so far....
SEVERAL (16) PAGES LATER there is a SUMMARY page where I want to display (or not) the descriptive Text associated with SOME of the earlier choices.
Pretty Summary Header, date project numbert etc....
Disclaimer text Bla Bla Bla
The follwoing is a SUMMARY of the major issues from the previous pages
White summary : This is the Text associated with White condition two. this could be a line, a list of things, or a paragraph
Red    summary : This is the Text associated with Red condition three. this could be a line, a list of things, or a paragraph
Green summary : This is the Text associated with Green condition two. this could be a line, a list of things, or a paragraph
Green summary : This is the Text associated with Green condition three. this could be a line, a list of things, or a paragraph
More disclaimer text
I understand (sortof) that I can have a Variable "red_list_1" that can be true/false and that will affect a line/field back on the summary page....
The following is a cut-n-paste ROUGH of what I think I need... it hasn't been tested (yet) and I am sure there are typos.  There are LOTS of examples of scripts that make things appear/dissapear (like the following) but I am trying to find a SIMPLE one that will the best when there are lots of them....
var f = this.getField("Red_list_1");
if (f.value==(true))
    g.display = display.hidden;
else
    g.display = display.visible;
Ok...a couple of things I don't yet get...
Can I combine statements/functions like I used to in (insert old language here) like
     if (this.getfield("Red_list_1").value)==true then g.display = display.hidden else g.display = display.visible
On my Summary page, do I need lots of fields that hide/disappear, or can I build one Monster field with lots of stuff inside it?
If I have lots of fields, how do I get them to flow nicely together?
My form is HUGE (16 pages of questions) , so I will have lots of text that 'can' be copied to the summary page, is there an easier way to build such a thing?
Lastly, and this is may be a question unto its self... If the "Summary" needs to go onto a 2nd (or more) page, how do I make sure it will "flow" nicely?
Note: The nice thing is that the filled in form -IS- the final product.  I don't need to upload it, syncronize it, or otherwise send it anywhere.  I will save the filled in form for reference and edits (if needed) but the client get a copy of all 17 pages (16 + summary) and thats it.
Oh yes...I am using Acrobat as it works, is supported, and doesn't need the cloud and will run on standalone devices with no cloud connectivity.  Once the surveyor has the form they can go anywhere with it, complete the form, even print a copy of it, without needing to upload anything.
Thanks for the help, I have been working this for a while, and keep getting partial solutions, some that work great, but are really really messy to try to do on a large scale, others use lots of stuff supposedly not supported on the Apple Ipad reader. (everything I have tried has worked???, not sure the issue)

Hi,
You have a couple of different options, You can have a condition on the form and report. So you choose the condition as something like Request = Expression 1 for the form and enter CREATE. Then in the report user Report != Expression 1 and enter CREATE. That way it will show the report all the time except when CREATE is pressed.
If you want to make it a bit more sophisticated you can use a Dynamic Action, so you have a dynamic action that has a true action of show the form and another true action of hide the report and then the opposite way round in a a false action and set the false action to fire on page load.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Paul

  • Captivate: Using Javascript to show/hide text captions

    Hello,
    I want to show/hide a text caption using javascript. I can't find the way of doing it with advanced actions. I dont know if it's because it belongs to a question slide in a pool. Does somebody knows if it's possible and how it can be done??

    You can set the length of the variable when you insert it.
    15 characters is just the default setting.
    What I meant by COULD is that the kind of thing you are asking about here (using JavaScript to hide objects inside a Captivate movie at runtime) is not as simple as you'd like it to be.
    JavaScript is not my particular area of expertise, but there are some people that chime in on this forum that ARE experts at JS. But I think they would also be the first to say that it's not as simple a thing to pull off as just "knowing the command to hide/show an object".
    The easiest tool to use in Captivate for showing or hiding objects is Advanced Actions.  The next easiest thing to use is ActionScript 3, and that's hard.  JavaScript is a very useful programming language, but it spends all of its life outside the Captivate movie looking in through AS3's External Interface.  So JS alone is not going to solve all your issues.

  • Javascript Help Needed to Show/Hide Regions

    version 4.0.2.00.07
    Hello,
    I'm hoping that someone would help me with creating a Javascript function to Show/Hide regions.
    I have a Select List defined as Checkboxes that when clicked I would like to show specific regions that contain fields that are specific to that checkbox selection. There are currently four selections available. There are two selections that would show one region and the other two selections would show the other region.
    Please let me know if I need to clarify anything.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    There is an out-of-box solution that may help you - check out the "Customisation" section in the region properties.
    Otherwise, you might like to explore using a Dynamic Action to show/hide your region based on an event on your relevant checkbox.
    Either way, you should have a declarative solution when you thought you might need to hand-code some javaScript :-)
    ps - thanks for providing your Apex version.

      WHEN 'ZYEAR2'.
      DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
      DATA: ZNUM(4) TYPE N.

  • How to SHOW/HIDE a dreamweaver layer from a flash button?

    I have almost 2 weeks tying to find a solution for this. Please help...
    -How can you SHOW/HIDE an thml-dreamweaver layer from a flash movie button.
    My html layer name is LAYER1, and my FlashMC botton name is FLBOT1
    Now, what is the actionscript that im suppouse to place in the flash button?
    Please respond, Thanks

    Adobe removed Flash Text and Flash Buttons from CS4 for accessibility reasons.  Flash buttons aren't web friendly.  And if you use this approach, you'll need to work in Flash because DW doesn't write Action Script for you.
    That said, you could do something similar without Flash.

  • Need to have static text on every page of a MS Excel report exported from SSRS

    I need to place an object with a brief static text message in a report using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2.
    When that report is exported to MS Excel from Report Manager and viewed, this static text object must appear "once" at the bottom of every page without using "print preview."
    Furthermore, it must appear only "once" on every page regardless of both the number of groups as well as the number of records in each group.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    By default, Excel does not have a concept of a "page" in "Normal" view. So when we export the report to excel and open the file, Excel automatically hides the footers as they are displayed in "Normal" view. Since this issue is relevant to Excel, if we want
    to see the page footer in Excel, we can try to switch to "Page Layout" view in the View Tab. Just as you said, they also shown up while printing.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Dynamically show/hide pages in a workset for special users at runtime

    Hi all,
    I want to create a workset that contains pages for different countries. The portal users should only be able to see the countries where they do business. I also would like masterdata from R/3 to drive the display of content on the portal.
    - Is there a way how I could dynamically show/hide certain pages of the workset for the specific users?
    - Would this showing/hiding of pages affect the workset for all users or only the instance for the specific user?
    - Would there be a difference when I want to dynamically show/hide iviews in a page instead of showing/hiding pages in a workset?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi Timo,
    Check out the article located at:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/portal_content/filtering role and workset content.htm
    It talks to exactly what you're trying to do.  I'd imagine you could extend this simplistic example to have the service pull the users country from his/her master record in R/3 and set their filtering expression accordingly.
    Hope this helps,
    Marty

  • How do you allow firefox to toggle show/hide menus

    I am using a website that has a show/hide text toggle. When I click the show button, it opens a new blank tab. I tested this on google chrome as well and it works properly. There must be a setting in firefox to correct this but I don't know what it is.

    Such a hide/show action is usually done via a JavaScript onclick event.
    If you get a new tab or window then this would suggest that the onclick isn't working and that the href is used and opens the new tab.
    You could check via the right-click context menu in the Inspector if there is an 'ev' button appended to this link (button).

  • Show/Hide tabs in top level navigation of a role based on assigned services

    Hi,
    I have an interesting requirement. I have created an overview page in abap web dynpro which has links to various services.
    Based on the r3 roles assigned to the user, we need to show/hide the services in the overview page and top level navigation.
    I can show/hide the views in the overview page but the links on top level navigation are created in the portal frontend by creating worksets, iviews, etc.
    Is there a way I can show or hide these worksets which are defined in the role on top level navigation?
    In a nutshell, can i update the visible/invisible property of a java workset from a call in abap web dynpro?
    Regards,
    Sumeet

    Seems to me java/jsp is more appropriate than doing it via WDA.
    ANother way that you might look into this is Application integrator which again java programming effort needed.

  • Show the Textbox in all page print

    Need Help!!
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    IF you are showing each page based on group or number of rows.
    If you don't have any group then you must create on group based on number of rows as
    Group expression =Ceiling((RowNumber(Nothing)) /5)
    this will create group of 5 Rows, you can increase it.
    After adding Group Remove Group Column not Group.
    Just add Group footer and merge all the columns in the group footer, add the Text in the group footer.
    you can follow how to create this type of group in below link.

  • Need to show popup when the Submit button is clicked for the second time ..

    Hi guys,
    I have a requirement where i need to show a popup or alert when the submit button is clicked twice . When it is clicked for the first time one method is been called and its process starts. When the user clicks the submit button for the second time they should be shown a popup stating "Submit button already been clicked, please clicked OK to continue".
    Can anyone help with this please , its really urgent requirement ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I dont have any sample code to give you now. For quick reference, I can advice some psuedo steps to achieve your requirement. I dont have access to JDEV to test this. If any syntax errors then pls correct yourself.
    1. Extend Controller since it is standard page ( Refer Anil Passi site for steps to extend seeded ontroller)
    2. Write below logic in your Process Request method
    super.processRequest(oaPageContext, oaWebBean);
    pageContext.putSessionValue("status", "notInitiated");
    3. Include below logic in your PFR method
    if(pageContext.getSessionValue("status")!=null){
    if("notInitiated".equals(pageContext.getSessionValue("status")))
    super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
    pageContext.putSessionValue("status", "initiated");
    else
    String message = "Display error message as required";
    throw new OAException(message, OAException.ERROR);
    You may need to import required packages ( Related to OAException).
    Remeber, to sumbit the request, user need to refresh the page again so that "status" variable will be refreshed.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks

  • Show standard texts on document

    Hi all,
    Our customers have the need to show some text on the bottom of some documents (invoice, order confirmation). Normally, I would use SO10 for the text. No problem there.
    In general, those texts have a limited time in which they should be printed on the documents. Is there a way (or table) in which you can define texts as well as a start date and/or an ending date?
    Any other solution is also welcome
    Thanks.

    Hi Karin,
    it just depends on what date is the correct one to check. Todays date is in SY-DATUM always included and always available.
    In your case, it is a invoice and I can imagine that the VBRK-ERDAT (date when the invoice is created) or even the VBRK-FKDAT (date when the invoice is booked) maybe also a good solution.
    Both fields are included in the structure VBDKR by the way
    For your order confirmation have a look in table VBAK / VBDKA. The fields there are ERDAT and AUDAT I think.
    The select statement should look something like that:
    Select single ... from     yourtable
                            into     yourstructure
                            where datefrom <= sy-datum
                               and dateto    >= sy-datum.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
    *whatever you want to do now
    ENDIF.
