Hiding Pages in ADOBE form using formcalc scripting.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am new to ADOBE form and currently working on invoice print output. (NOT an Interactive adobe form)

My requirement is

i wanted to print one main page and 5 different annexures(anexures are having different layouts so is in diff forms and contained in diff pages)

Deppending on 'Oreder reason' (made as global variable) , i need to select appropriate annexure and print

main page and any one of the annexure.

so i should hide all other annexure, to achive this i used formcalc scripting.

i tried hiding annexure 2 by following code,

data.Annexure2::ready:form - (FormCalc, client)

if ( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" )

then $.presence = "hidden"

endif

i have passed value 'ANX' to this , i could see the value of order reason printed on page Annexure2 but it is not executing (getting in to if condition) condition and not hiding the page ...

Experts please help me...

this way i have to hide 4 other annexures...please help me or give me some other option to achive this.

thanks and regards

varun

coding Formcalc is a pain.

But you're doing the right thing by passing in a variable and hiding based on the content of it.

Here's an example of where I'm hiding a subform on a page.

  if ( main_sf2.charter_only.CHARTER_DOC.rawValue eq "X" ) then
   main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "visible"
  else
   main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "hidden"
endif

Looks like your code is similar - try changing

( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" ) to

( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue eq "ANX" )

or instead of $.presence = "hidden" fully qualify the name of your page to data.Annexure2.presence = "hidden"

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply...but i was able to solve it as it was mistake in the name selection.

How ever i am back with another question.....

I have created a form, page1 and with in that I kept two subforms.Anx1 and table.

Anx1 is positioned and table is flowed. With in subform table I have a table,

My problem is I am unable to see the table when printing.

In subforms pagination is disabled.

Please help meu2026

More over in quick testing(using xml,by mistake in the Edit->formating property->preview -> I selected interactive and generated the xml.

So now I could see some data populated which it has got from somewhere else,

And in pdf out out the attachment tab is also blank.

While this is not an Interactive Form issue, it seems more likely you'll get an informed response here than in Form Printing.
