JavaScript and Value Calculation Stopped Working

Post by JYOUNG »

For our company we've found that since the last update we can't enable JavaScript and the "Value Calculation" doesn't work and the "Format Value" no longer affects the target field. It's like the properties and fields are no longer talking to each other.

Anyone else having this issue? We're working on it and reaching out through multiple channels, the developer hasn't had a chance to respond I mainly want to try and determine if this is an us issue or an issue with the last patch of Sept 22.

Hello JYOUNG,

Welcome to our Forum.

May I ask which version is your currently installed PDF Editor?

Also, may I ask for a copy of one of the Form files, you are having this issue with?

Hello JYOUNG,

All is working just fine, but only if you have the JavaScript engine enabled:

For our company we've found that since the last update we can't enable JavaScript

May I ask what happens when you try to enable it?

...or the JavaScript menu is inactive.
