  1. Hi Sir , I am new to this Adobe Designer world , my current task is to Migrate Existing ES4 PDF Forms to HTML . I Started with Changing the Rendering process to HTML , but the things that i am stuck in for last one week is about the java script , the same form with the same script is running fine , while opening it PDF but the moment i open that form in HTML , they starts throwing the error that variable are not defined or like 'HiddenFileds' are not defined variable . So can you please advise , if the procedure of writing scripts is same when its comes to HTML forms , or there is a different way for it . Please advise .Do you have any blog or vedio that can help me with HTML form . Thanks and lot in advance .

  2. This was very helpful. I was looking for a way to create an email submit button that will allow me to pull form data into the To and Subject lines. I've found several tutorials, but none of them seem to work for me.

  3. Thank You sir. I am trying to make a form that uses lot of calculation with arrays. Is there a way to control the next field from the current field code. For example: I have defined an array in the code of Textfield 1 and it does have some conditions and based on that it do some sort of calculation like division, and I want to put quotient in Textfield 1 and Remainder in Textfield2 without retyping the whole code in Textfield2.

  4. I found your tutorial very helpful and for that I would like to ask your help to make my pdf better, I need to create six drop-down boxes that will change automatically upon selection. I work with a long list of dealerships that I have to retype name, dealer number, address, city, state and zip for every title application. To make my application more sufficient I just want to be able to type the first two letters for the name of the dealership and the dealer number, address, city, state, zip to come up automatically. For example: If I type KA… the drop-down box will show me from my list Kar City upon selecting Kar City the dealer number (PXX9643), Address (3802 Fondren Rd), city (Houston), state(TX) , zip (77063) will come up automatically without me typing all that information every time. I thank you in advance for your prompt repose and keep up the tutorials. 

    Thanks again,

  5. Is there a way to make a field that auto populates based on the number of prints you make?  For instance, I'd like to print a ticket 500 times with a dynamic field that autoupdates 1-500 on the page.  Then once opened again it would automatically start at 501.

    As a plus, it might be nice to know when these ranges were created each time as a supplementary file.  I might be asking too much.
