RE: [PDF-Forms] How do I make a form tab to the next field when the number of characters limit is reached on the current field

[David A. Beck]

Jason,   Thanks for the help. The problem with this script is that it will tab out if the field already has 4 characters in it. What I really need is a change event. I’m absolutely new to programming PDF files and can’t find the change event in the text field properties. I tried the blur event, but it only fires when I tab out. The form has text fields ACCT.3 and ACCT.4, when the value changes in ACCT.3, I want to automatically go to the ACCT.4 textbox. I think I need to add a custom keystroke event to get the change event, but don’t know how to add it for ACCT.3.   var a = event.value if (a.length == 1) { app.alert("booga"); this.getfield("ACCT.4").setfocus(); }   David A.
