In my fillable form, when I tab down to a particular field, the field/box is black. This presents a temporary problem of not being able to see the typed text. However, when tabbing off the field (or tabbing down and then returning) the field is normal (white with black text). I can't figure out why this is happening with this single field/box. It's going to present an issue to users. Any ideas?

Using same variable in two different fields
Can I use the same variable name in two different calculation fields on one form?
I have two calculation fields (actually, many more, but using the same concept for all) that set variable values in the Custom Calculation Script.
Field names are numbers.
Field 1 (first column line 5440 below)
var a = this.getField("26").value;
var b = this.getField("27").value;
var c = this.getField("28").value;
var d = this.getField("29").value;
var e = this.getField("30").value;
if (a + b + c + d + e > 0) event.value = a + b + c + d + e;
else event.value = "";
Field 2 (second column line 5440 below)
var a = this.getField("9").value;
var b = this.getField("10").value;
var c = this.getField("11").value;
var d = this.getField("12").value;
var e = this.getField("13").value;
if (a + b + c + d + e > 0) event.value = a + b + c + d + e;
else event.value = "";
Field 3 (first column Total Expenses below)
var A = this.getField("1").value;
var B = this.getField("2").value;
var C = this.getField("7").value;
var D = this.getField("8").value;
var E = this.getField("14").value;
if (A+B+C+D+E>0) event.value = A+B+C+D+E;
else event.value = "";
Field 4 (second column Total Expenses below)
var A = this.getField("18").value;
var B = this.getField("19").value;
var C = this.getField("24").value;
var D = this.getField("25").value;
var E = this.getField("31").value;
if (A+B+C+D+E>0) event.value = A+B+C+D+E;
else event.value = "";
I'm getting weird values... is there a problem with using the same variable name when setting those in different fields?

calculated form field shows wrong value after leaving field
When I enter the data in the two fields to be calculated the correct value shows in the calculated form field box when I click on it. As soon as I leave the box and go to another one, it shows the wrong value. The other three calculated fields also show the wrong value, always showing the last number I input into the last form field.

Need Help in Summing Up Radio Button Choices
I am trying to set up a form where each statement is rated using four radio buttons (Poor, Fair, Good, Strong).
There are a large number of these statements. I want to tally the number of times each rating was chosen at the bottom of the form (one field below each rating). Basically something like this:
| Statement | Poor | Fair | Good | Strong |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Random statement to be evaluated | Radio Button 1 | Radio Button 2 | Radio Button 3 | Radio Button 4 |
| 2. Random statement to be evaluated | Radio Button 1 | Radio Button 2 | Radio Button 3 | Radio Button 4 |
| 3. Random statement to be evaluated | Radio Button 1 | Radio Button 2 | Radio Button 3 | Radio Button 4 |
| 4. Random statement to be evaluated | Radio Button 1 | Radio Button 2 | Radio Button 3 | Radio Button 4 |
| Totals | Total # Poor responses | Total # Fair responses | Total # Good responses | Total # Strong responses |
I feel like this should be a fairly simple thing to do, but I'm still relatively new to forms and my ignorance is... ah... profound.
Can anyone help?

How to add check box buttons to pdf stamp?
Ill try to keep this short. I have a stamp that I need to add to multiple pages on a document (and will again in the future). The stamp has 3 locations for a check box, rather than going page by page and inserting a check on the stamps, I want to incorporate the check box into the stamp when it is placed (dynamic stamp).
What I want to do is place the stamp on page one, and have a dialogue box ask for a value ("yes" "no" or "maybe")...and after entering that value the stamp is placed on the page with the corresponding check box selected.
I have been able to create a pop up asking for the value, but have not been successful with linking the entered value to the check boxes. Anyone know a way to do this? Below is the javascript I am using to initiate the pop-up:
var cAsk = "Response:" ;
var cTitle = "Document State For Stamp ";
if(event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "#c7Qyko5Do_aY5ymhEV0Y0A"))
{
var cMsg = app.response(cAsk, cTitle);
cMsg;
event.value = cMsg;
event.source.source.info.DocumentState = cMsg;
}
Thanks!
EDIT: Maybe a better way to describe what I really want: What i want is to drop a stamp on a sheet and when I do so, I want it to ask me which box I want to check, and to have the stamp then placed on the sheet with that button selected.

show/hide a group of radiobuttons
I haven Acro Form. There is a button in that form to show/hide other fields.
Normally, I assign a mouse up event and run a javascript as shown in the following example:
var oChkFld = this.getField("0_HiddenCheck_HideShow");
oChkFld.checkThisBox(0,!oChkFld.isBoxChecked(0));
this.getField("0_question_title").display = (oChkFld.value=="Off") ? display.hidden : display.visible;
And it works perfect.
But when it comes to the radio buttons, it does not function.
I indicate the group name of the corresponding radio buttons.
Example:
There is a group name of radio buttons called: "Collection_Extendibility" and inside there are options of "changing", "closed", etc.
So I write:
var oChkFld = this.getField("0_HiddenCheck_HideShow");
oChkFld.checkThisBox(0,!oChkFld.isBoxChecked(0));
this.getField("Collection_Extendibility").display = (oChkFld.value=="Off") ? display.hidden : display.visible;
But it does nothing.

flatten a PDF form by exclusion of some fields
Hi,
I have created an interactive PDF form by using Acrobat. It might not be the propoer way, but I used many form fields for hide/show, highlight, etc purposes.
So, this means that not all the fields are the ones to be filled.
At the end I would like to flatten related form fields (i.e., a portion of form fields not everything) before distrubuting the users.
I wonder if there is a selection/exclusion option somehow.

Read only form field need to turn color based on Java Script code on calculate.
I am a newbie working in Adobe Acrobat DC and working on a
form. I have a read only field that I
would like to highlight in color if the value is over 3%.
This is the java script I am currently using in the Calculate
tab that I have found from other people’s questions on here. The two fields SalaryChangeTo and Salary From
are inputted by the user but could also be blank. Please let me know what is wrong with this. The
name of my field is Division. I will
also note that if I click on the read only field I do see the red color but it
is not red when viewing. Please help,
thank you!
var v1 =
Number(this.getField("SalaryChangeTo").value);
var v2 =
Number(this.getField("SalaryFrom").value);
var v3 =
Number(this.getField("SalaryChangeTo").value);
if (v3==0) event.value = "";
else event.value = (v1-v2)/v3;
- event.target.fillColor =(v1-v2)/v3 >= .03 ? color.red :
color.white;

User Selected Font & Size
Hello. I am creating a series of PDFs using Adobe Pro for people who have the free version of Adobe Acrobat. I have figured out how to add the text fields necessary and set appearance attributes for them. However, my chosen font might not be what my end user would like (these are creative documents not business documents) and I would like the option for them to choose their own font. Is there a way to do this?
Also, I am adding an optional text field in a decorated background. If I set this large area as an optional text field, will the end user be able to not only choose the font but also the sizing of the text entered? Thank you.

Lock fields in a PDF form and be able to hide a digital signature
Hi all,
I have to work on a form where my office would issue a form to potential contracted employees where certain fields would be locked to avoid tampering with number values. I saw this in another post:
https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-lock-form-fields-using-a-digital-signature
but can I hide the digital signature to avoid having the person who's issuing the form on behalf of the company not be overwhelmed with phone calls or emails?
Also, I was going to include the "add page" script in the form along with drop down menus. Is it possible to have the signature and locked information appear on subsequent pages as well?

Why won't my Text Boxes show up in Accessibility view under Reading Order and Tags?
My text boxes show up under the "Prepare Form" tool, but not in Accessibility in the Reading order or tags (show up as Figure with a blank path inside the Figure).
The IDs are adding a Name and Tooltip to the boxes.
I am fairly remedial at this process, but I cannot figure out why the text boxes will not show up in the Accessibility (Reading Order or Tags with the OBJR Tag nested under the Tag), but I have a feeling the answer may be something simple.
TIA -

set focus on a field
I have created a form that contains multiple fields. When the applicant gets to the first question with a Yes or No radio button (named HMDA) and they try to tab through to the next question without answering the HMDA question, I have created a script that provides an alert letting the applicant know the HMDA field needs to be answered. However, once the applicant clicks ok on the alert it takes the applicant to the next field (named Beneficial Owner). Is there a way to set the focus (or something similar) on the HMDA field after the applicant clicks ok on the alert? I tried the script below on the Beneficial Owner field but even if the HMDA field is populated it won't move to the Beneficial Owner field.
if(getField("HMDA").value=="Off");getField("HMDA").setFocus();
