hi,

you can go for FormCalc Script in Script Editor.

In the initialise event of both the fields , write this Script :

if (HasValue($)) then

$.presence = "Visible"

else

$.presence = "Hidden"

endif

This will hide your fields with no data.

Hi,

You can apply the following script in the scipt editor

Select initialize event from the drop down box

if ($.isNull) then

$.presence = "hidden"

endif

in adobe forms. It will hide the Contents.

Thanks,

Krishna

You should ask this question in the Adobe Forms forum since this work has to be done within the form using JavaScript/FormScript. On the other hand, you should consider if such a dynamic requirement is really a good fit for interactive forms. Changing the layout of the form in script can invalidate a signature and is generally not recommended because of the scripting complexity involved.
