We assume that the entered value is in fact convertible to a number (otherwise, we would first have to check for that). However, the logic has 'holes', which do not cover certain values, such as between 8.9 and 9, or greater than 10. As you see, the base of the logic does work, because it displays the color names you have assigned. Field value and event.value are referring to the value of the field, and only to the value of the field.

The documentation is important, and the complete set which is IMHO needed is about 1500 pagesâ¦ you don't have to read and understand everything to begin with, but there is a lot of reading.Īnyway, the first thing to look at is what you would want to accomplish. Starting with Acrobat JavaScript can be overwhelming. If (Score>=9 & Score=8 & Score=0 & Score<=7.9) event.value = 'Red' Var Score = +this.getField('Score').value I would REALLY appreciate some help since I have struggled with this for days but to no avail! Now I'm just confused and overwhelmed. I would like no text in 'Scale', only a border. It successfully inserts the word for the desired color change (original thought process), but obviously doesn't change 'Scale' border color when 'Score' changes. I currently have the following custom calculation script in 'Scale'. Green border if 'Score' is between 9 - 10 I would like the border color of 'Scale' to change based on the value of 'Score': The average is performed in 'Score', but the formatting in question will be applied to 'Scale'. I am trying to format a form created in Acrobat XI Pro. Change border color based on separate field value? HELP!
