Scripting language for Adobe forms

Check this post : https://blogs.sap.com/2015/07/15/overview-on-scripting-languages-for-adobe-forms-beginners/.

Hide field if empty

Using javascript :


//data.Main.HEADER.ADRESSE_CLIENT.NAME3::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

if(this.rawValue == "" || this.rawValue == null) {
    this.presence = "hidden";
}

“hidden” will hide the whole element and shift lower elements up.
“invisible” will hide only the TEXT INSIDE the element NOT the element itself (no shifting of other elements).
