Meeting details
One of the most powerful ways to customize PDF forms and add interactivity is by using JavaScript and FormCalc. In fact, for many features like repeated subforms, complex calculations, and most dynamic interactivity, scripting is mandatory. Much of the Acrobat forms model is supported in LiveCycle Designer forms.
The free 75-minute eSeminar will cover:
- An introduction to the LiveCycle Designer scripting environment
- Practical script development, testing, and debug techniques
- Basic scripting examples in XML forms created with LiveCycle Designer
- Adding custom calculations
- Hiding and showing sections of a form
- Changing Form Field properties, such as border color
- Using check boxes, buttons, and combo boxes to control dynamic form features
