Hallo zusammen,
Leider mein Deutsch ist noch ganz schlecht, so besser schreibe ich auf Englisch.
So...I am a beginner at Lifecycle and I have to make some modifications to an existing functioning form. Maybe is pretty trivial but I am not able to see the hidden fields when I open the designer...When I complete the existing form...certain fields pop up as soon as I check a certain field (hope you got me) but in the designer I cannot find them...
And the second issue is that is very strange to me but I cannot see the show event related to scripting in the show scroll down tab...
I hope I was clear. Any advice would be strongly appreciated.
Vielen Dank,
Sidi
P.S: version is 10

Hi Sydney,
assuming you use the English version open windows and look for something like “Arbeitsbereich”. Make all pallets visible.
In the left one called “hierarchy” you see all elements, even the hidden ones. Mark any element and you will find in the right one the settings. If there is code to, you’ll find it in the Script Editor (press shift, ctrl und F5).

Hello Armine,
Thank you for your answer. In the Hierarchy view I can see all the hidden fields but I want to make some changes in the design view for example. That is not possible. The hidden fields appear only when I make preview PDF...I went to object (on the right side) I see that everything is visible...how can I modify smth in the design view then if these hidden fields dont appear...and the scripting editor strange but it doesn't work...in the bar where is show/language/run at....I don't see any scripting even though I am sure there is some...
I apologize my stupidity...but I am brandnew, I just watched all the turorials from Adobe and now am trying to do smth on my own...
p.s: unfortunately i cannot upload it, because it is material from my work...i know it gets more difficult like this

Hello Sydney,
When you mark the top notch in Hierarchy all programmers coding will be shown in the Script Editor.
To manipulate objects the code might be in another field or even a function in an “Script Object” (usually at the end of “Hierarchy”).
If you can’t move objects by using the mouse, the reason might be the setting of the object one level above. Mark this and go object > leftmost tab. You will find something like “contend:”. If this is set to “text flow” all contend is arranged by the program. Set it to “position” to arrange whatever you like. The drawback is that content remains in position, when another object becomes “hidden” – e.g. the following objects remain in place and will not close the gap.
If you want to make changes while suffering by “text flow” you might alter the sequence of elements by drag and drop in the “Hierarchy”. If it comes to changes in the layout use “Object”. Settings there work like HTML to be seen when you mark an Object and then switch to “XML-Source”.
For editing purposes you might set “hidden” fields to “visible” for the time you work on it.
For a better understanding I recommend to postpone your actual problem and create a new file. Create simple things and gain experience. By the way: To press “F1” might help to understand and fight problems.
