readonly vs. hidden, simplifying java, global organization of adobe form

-

hello,

 

i new java , adobe acrobat.  have form in clients separated 3 types , depending on type of client areas of form not need filled out. form unfortunately, long , complicated multiple scenarios example if individual investor vs. corporate investor different fields need filled out , if corporate investor , located in bc (both scenarios) different fields need completed. there quite few fields (50+) change , although code working (mostly) bulky , feel better thought through/organized/possibly using incorrect commands situation. question 2 fold:  making text boxes, drop boxes, , radio buttons when best use hidden vs visible, , read-only true/false (and possibly other commands unaware of)? second question how simplify code prevent mistakes , make changes easier. @ moment finding change 1 thing , effects 4 other things didn't want effect.  example, have 3 client types radio button individual, joint, corporation place code into each button if click through (change answer) opens right fields or better way think it.  code right example individual choice:

}

}

}

updateformfield()

 

is there way simplify this? appreciated! apologies wall of text.

when need control group of fields, it's idea use hierarchical field naming simplify code. example, instead of "salutation_j", "surname_j", etc., use "j.salutation", "j.surname", etc., , can hide of j fields single statement:

 

getfield("j").display = display.hidden;

 

 

the code posted has other problems, easier deal after you've made changes allow simplification.

Adobe Refresh Managerについて

-
ノートパソコンでwindows8.1の環境のものです。今日、セキュリティーソフトの報告を見ていたら、昨日、adobe refresh managerをインストールしたことになっていました。私としては、見に覚えがありません。もしも、プログラムをインストールしたのなら、その許可を求めるウインドウが表示されるはずです が、そのようなことはありませんでした。私のノートパソコンには、adobe acrobat dcとacrobat reader dcがインストールされていて、pdfファイルなどを扱うために使っています。adobe refresh managerというのは、これらのacrobat製品に関係した正規のものでしょうか。acrobat製品の自動的なプログラムの更新が行われたということでしょうか。よろしくお願いしま す。 通常、acrobatやreaderのアップデートを管理するツール（adobearm）が常駐していますが、 それの更新処理を行うインストーラーがadobe reflesh managerのようです。 adobe reader update scheduled task? normal?
