cannot use presence = "hidden" in an IF statement

Hello all.

I am trying to create a static PDF where the user can choose to hide certain sections.

The concept :

• The user opens a blank document
• Unselects the sections are not applicable
• They then Save the PDF
• And reopens it so the unwanted sections are not visible.

The challenge :

1. I have a section on the main page ( Page_Main ) where they uncheck/check the sections
2. After saving & reopening, I set the presence of the unchecked sections to hidden/visible depending on the selection in #1
3. If I do this in an IF statement, the code runs but does not hide the sections
   However, the same code works without the IF statement

I have attached the XDP that I am using  ( Adobe LiveCycle ES2 , v9.0.0.2)

I do a SaveAs a static PDF (attached) for general use ( Static because I want to run this on an iPad )

Can anyone shed light on why this works without an IF statement but does not when enclosed in an IF statement ?

Any other solutions would help

Thanks for your help

The code :

    form1::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

     //Hides any sections depending on the Checkbox state

     if ( Page_Main.sfButtons.table_CE.rowCE1.CheckBox1.rawValue == 0 ) { Page_CE.sfCE1.presence = "hidden"; }

     if ( Page_Main.sfButtons.table_CE.rowCE2.CheckBox1.rawValue == 0 ) { Page_CE.sfCE2.presence = "hidden"; }

     if ( Page_Main.sfButtons.table_CE.rowCE3.CheckBox1.rawValue == 0 ) { Page_CE.sfCE3.presence = "hidden"; }

     if ( Page_Main.sfButtons.table_CE.rowCE4.CheckBox1.rawValue == 0 ) { Page_CE.sfCE4.presence = "hidden"; }

     //Shows any sections depending on the Checkbox state

     if ( Page_Main.sfButtons.table_CE.rowCE1.CheckBox1.rawValue == 1 ) { Page_CE.sfCE1.presence = "visible"; }

     if ( Page_Main.sfButtons.table_CE.rowCE2.CheckBox1.rawValue == 1 ) { Page_CE.sfCE2.presence = "visible"; }

     if ( Page_Main.sfButtons.table_CE.rowCE3.CheckBox1.rawValue == 1 ) { Page_CE.sfCE3.presence = "visible"; }

     if ( Page_Main.sfButtons.table_CE.rowCE4.CheckBox1.rawValue == 1 ) { Page_CE.sfCE4.presence = "visible"; }

     //for debug, I forced hid the 4th section - This works but above code does not !

     Page_CE.sfCE4.presence = "hidden";
