Remap one text field to several separate fields (boxes) in pdf form.

1. We have a control type that is text and collects a 10 digit number
2. The Pattern is set to 1\d{9}
3. The Error Msg is "This number must start with a 1 and be 10 digits long
4. It is currently mapped to a pdf form as one entire field.

Our state agency form has changed and is now requiring each digit to be placed in a separate box on the pdf form.  So instead of one field (ie: 1253647912) each digit must be mapped to a separate box. 

Can I accomplish this through re-mapping the form?

  Hello,
  
  Yes it can be accomplished via remapping.
  
  Please follow following steps:

  1. Create form
  2. Add 1 Phone control
  3. Add 10 Text controls disable/hide them.
  4. Map 10 text controls to the 10 fields of your PDF
  5. In rule section use below rule to split the phone control into 10 different text fields
  6. Save and Test the form.
  7. In Submissions section you can check the result of mapping.
     
     

  {
  var a = Phone.value;
  var digit = a.toString().split('');
  N1.value=digit[0];
  N2.value=digit[1];
  N3.value=digit[2];
  N4.value=digit[3];
  N5.value=digit[4];
  N6.value=digit[5];
  N7.value=digit[6];
  N8.value=digit[7];
  N9.value=digit[8];
  N10.value=digit[9];
  }
  
  Kindly follow above steps and let us know if you have any queries or concerns.
  
  Thank you.
