John,

These types of actions are encoded in Javascript which you need to add to the field validation.

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html

"One of the easiest and most powerful ways to customize PDF files is by using JavaScript. Based on JavaScript version 1.5 of ISO-16262 (formerly known as ECMAScript), JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat software implements objects, methods, and properties that enable you to manipulate PDF files, produce database-driven PDF files, modify the appearance of PDF files, and much more. You can tie Acrobat JavaScript code to a specific PDF document, a page, field, or button within that document, or a field or button within the PDF file, and even to a user action."

Debenu Quick PDF Library has functions for adding Javascript code to various formfields and their actions.

Andrew.

I see validation actions, but, am curious to see if for instance the following can be supported in the generated PDF.

If a user checks a checkbox, can an attendant "quantity" text field receive a value of "1"?

Thanks,

John
