Is a PDF's Javascript disabled when Generating Documents?

wballew

I have a PDF that has a custom calculation script that does not run when generating a PDF via the Generate Documents feature.

The script is simple by design:

var adequate = Number(this.getField("Signs_Adequate").value);



if (adequate ==1) this.getField("Signs_Adequate_Result").value = "True";

I was hoping to achieve a solution where I could fill a radio button or check box based on another field's contents to save having to create helper columns in Smartsheet. I would love to know if this is possible.

I had the same problem, but implemented my formulas inside the sheet. Customize your pdf to reflect this and remap.

Hi Mike, that's what I was hoping to avoid (it will require over 100 helper columns) for this Federal PDF. Thank you for your response!
