Thread: Help with Java in Acrobat X

I hope I'm in the right place. I have Acrobat X Pro (pc version, not cloud). I am struggling with an interactive form and also struggling to find the correct language to do what I need done.

In a nutshell, I have a group of 7 radio buttons (set to appear as check boxes) that have the same "Name". Only 1 can be chosen. Each button has a different Radio Button Choice.

I have a single text field in a Number format. What I need is for the value in Radio Button Choice to appear in the text field.

There will be a series of text fields tied to other radio button groups. The text fields will then be used in a simple calculation to generate a final number.

The simple math calc is easy. I've been looking at the Java manual from Adobe, searching the web using a variety of search terms and just cannot find the answer.

I am somewhat familiar with boolean language from using it in Excel but this project has me stumped.

Hope you can help.

Yes. I am asking what codes/commands/sequences to use to accomplish the described task.

I don't know enough to know how to ask specific java questions.

Deep sigh. Acrobat uses java to handle complex functions within interactive forms. If you didn't know that I have obviously come to the wrong place for help.

To quote from the Acrobat forums -

There is no Java interface in Acrobat, what is supported is JavaScript - similar name, but completely different programming language. This is important if you want to e.g. search for solutions online.

Java is not Javascript.
