This tutorial shows how to leverage radio button values to make forms that can calculate based on user input. Simple JavaScript concepts like parsing string to numeric values is also covered.
Scripts used in this tutorial:
this.rawValue = parseInt(Question1.rawValue) + parseInt(Question2.rawValue) + parseInt(Question3.rawValue) + parseInt(Question4.rawValue);
A HowTo video on using a JavaScript “for” loop to test and remove instances of repeatable table rows, based on user input.
For a basic understanding of “For” loop syntax, checkout w3schools reference page: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_loop_for.asp
Delete Button Code:
var vRows = Table1._Row1.count-1;
if(vRows==0){
Table1._Row1.removeInstance(0);
}
for(var i=vRows;i>=-1;i–){
if(Table1.resolveNode(“Row1[” + i + “]”).Cell1.rawValue!==1){
Table1._Row1.removeInstance(i);
}
}
Add Button Code:
Table1._Row1.addInstance();
This tutorial demonstrates how to use JavaScript to allow the choice of one dropdown to affect the choices of another dropdown. The JavaScript “Switch” statement in the “exit” event of a dropdown is utilized to populate new choices in another dropdown. Essentially this create a “dynamic dropdown” in your dynamic pdf form.

In this video I demonstrate the basics of adding a Floating Field to a Text Object in order to allow for custom text insertion using JavaScript or data binding.
In this tutorial I introduce the concept of Object references in JavaScript and talk about using “absolute references”.
