Footnote in adobe form

[alessandro_sassi_80]

Hello everyone,

I need to insert a footnote in an Adobe form. The challenge is that I need to identify on which page a word with a footnote appears, and display the explanatory note only on that specific page. I have created a dedicated area at the bottom of the page, and I can successfully make it visible or invisible using JavaScript. However, I'm struggling to identify on which pages the various footnotes appear, so that I can make the footer visible on the correct pages.

Does anyone have experience with this or can suggest an approach to solve this problem?

Any insights or code examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

You can check the current page number using xfa.layout.page(this) and based on that ou can decide to show or hide the objects. Make sure you run this on layout ready event

If I understand your problem statement correctly, in some random pages you will get a text "footnote". If you receive the text, you have to display additional information. Is it correct? If yes, Where do you want to display this info? on the footer itself?

Hmmm, not exactly sure how you would detect that the associated bit of information is in superscript. It would be more appropriate to have the text maintained as a full long text that includes the footnotes, and apply a smartstyle for the formatting requirements.

I have attached an image to explain the expected functionality.

At the end of the page I created a dedicated area for viewing notes

My assumption is, you are using <sup> tag inside the rich text to display these super scripts shown in the text. In this case, one bruteforce approach is to read objects present in each page and look for <sup> tag. If you find any, then display those foot notes. BTW, what type of form is this? print form or an interactive?

The problem is precisely understanding on which page a specific footnote appears. In the print version, I have various dynamic tables, consequently I don't know in advance on which page the specific note will appear.

let's say if we have to manually add the footnote on a particular page, what do you look at?any particular field or end of a table or any text string?
