Don't want to use a drop-down list field

I use a text box I want only user can enter into an 'a' or a 'd', how do I make this happen?

Thank you

Add the following function to a JavaScript script at the level of the document and call it from event hits the field:

function AorD_ks() {

    // Get everything that's entered in the field
    var val = AFMergeChange(event);

    // Allow a blank field
    if (!val) return;

    // Reject everything other than a or d, or A or D
    event.rc = AFExactMatch(/^(a|d)$/i, val);
}

Remove the i in the regular expression if you don't allow uppercase.

He didn't really need is that it's what you want, but to show a good generalist.

Using a choice of multiple words in a drop-down list field to launch a java script

I'm a complete newbie to manuscript of java and relatively new to your building in Acrobat.
I use a drop-down list field to fill in automatically other fields based on my 1st drop-down list selection.
The 1st field drop-down allows me to select a variety of suppliers. Once I have selected the vendor, he auto-remplit the coordinates for this provider.
I've plagiarized the writing of scripts from this link: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field. I even changed my domain names for the moment. I'll change my return form field names and the script to match once I got it working like I want.
If I use only one name in my drop down list provider (1 field), the script works perfectly and auto-remplit contact as expected information. However, many of my suppliers are two words or more... and I need those names in print, so I can't do just a contraction of a Word. Here is the script I use:
Here is an example of a supplier of single word name that works as expected:
Put all vorkriegsbevölkerung data in a single data structure
var DeptData = {ADLEMI: {contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",}}
E-mail: "DOWNEY, CA 90242."
{{deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111 '}};
function SetFieldValues (cDeptName)
{
this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .contact.
this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .email;
this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .deptnum;
}
Unique provider name, I used in the example above is "ADLEMI." If I add 'BEST' to ADLEMI (see below), I get a syntax error. I really need to be able to use several words in my list drop-down provider to trigger auto-fill.
Put all vorkriegsbevölkerung data in a single data structure
var DeptData = {ADLEMI BEST: {contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",}}
E-mail: "DOWNEY, CA 90242."
{{deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111 '}};
function SetFieldValues (cDeptName)
{
this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .contact.
this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .email;
this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .deptnum;
}
The only difference is that I added a space and the word 'BEST' after ADLEMI. Is there a way to get around this. I need to have several words in my drop-down list, or at least the full name of the vendor indicating in the field when I print it.
Thank you

Place quotation marks around the name of the element.

I created a PDF form with several drop downs, all with the same drop-down values. When I select a value of 1 in the drop-down list fields, it breeds in all others - which I don't want. How can I fix?

I created a PDF form with several drop downs, all with the same drop-down values. When I select a value of 1 in the drop-down list fields, it breeds in all others - which I don't want. Can I fix?

I am fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have drop them downs named. Copy you a then keep stick in each area? If so, that's the problem. You must rename each with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think this might solve the problem.

How can I use two drop-down lists for a time value?

I want to enter the length of time someone did something in hours and minutes using two drop-down lists, then enter it as a time value only (├a) in Mysql.
I used the dropdown database lists and a few different variations of what follows without success (seconds is a hidden field with a value of "00"):
GetSQLValueString (strftime ("% H: % i: %s", strtotime ($_POST ["sleeptimemin"].))) " «. $_POST ['sleeptimehr']. » «. (_POST ["seconds"])) $, 'date').
This comes back to 00:00:16, regardless of what is selected in the drop-down list.
Any help would be appreciated.

MySQL stores time in human-understandable format, using the 24-hour clock.
```
GetSQLValueString($_POST['sleeptimehr'] . ':' . $_POST['sleeptimemin'] . ':00', "date"),
```

You do not have something wrong. January 2014 Photoshop CC update has added the ability to incorporate link GOLD Smart Objects. Before this update Photoshop CC, smart objects are always embedded in the Photoshop document. Although he made the biggest file size, it was as a backup plan because all placed files have been included in the document. Now you have the ability to embed or link the smart object. Link refers to the file instead of actually copying in your current file. Regarding your little tutorial, choose Embed.

Drop-down list field

Hi friends,

In my application from the drop-down list field that I used "ObjectChoiceField" it works but it does not feel like a drop-down list field

How can I do?

by the look, he must feel like a drop-down list field?

Thanks in advance

I've seen this done before overriding the method object of the ObjectChoiceField to use drawBitmap. In this way paint you a picture on the right of the field (such as the traditional arrow pointing down). You can also use drawRect to draw a rectangle around the whole thing make it look like more traditional.

Using the drop-down list cascading... is it possible...
The list of parent choice consists of several values, call them A B C D E and F.

I want only the list of choice subject to have values for the parent of E and F. I don't see a way to set the parent of A & D without value for the related selection list. Am I missing it? It would be nice to have the choice of child list is valid when the element E or F is selected.

Any thoughts?
You must set a value such as 'No value' will be used for the values of A - D in the drop-down list for the list of subordinate choice parent.

Acrobat Pro XI - import Pdf when you use the drop-down list

Hello Adobe community,
WARNING: Newbie here
I am trying to import an existing pdf, after that the user has selected an item in the drop-down list. For example; I have a form with a menu drop-down and three points on the list (caustic diesel, heavy and hydrocarbons). Each item in the list has its own PDF which must to be imported into the document if selected. Once the user has selected in the list, I need to import a pdf file into the existing document. I did some basic research, but can find no chance.
Any tips or tutorials that I can search will be appreciated.
Thank you

Again, it is delicate. You can show/hide entire pages to convert them into models and by changing the value of their hidden property, but this only works in Acrobat. In Reader, you will need to convert the model pages, hide them and then use a script to spawn them when you want to show them and then delete them when you want to hide once more. Possible, but not easy to implement.

using a drop-down list to power a listview

I try to get a drop-down list selection (newOption) to fuel a sql query to get more information in a listview. The drop down menu works ok, but the list is empty. My dosent sql query recognize newOption and therefore does not feed listview.

Please could you help me with the query syntax. Thank you.

My code is below. If I replace '+' "' + newOption +" ' with a sql table entry, IE 'the cradle', then the listview works very well.

import bb.cascades 1.2
import bb.data 1.0

query: "SELECT * FROM Apiary ORDER BY apiary_name".

onDataLoaded: {}
dataModel2.insertList (data);

Now, this is going to populate the drop-down list while reiterating each

using the optionFactory component to dynamically add definition
New Options for the drop-down list

var newOption = optionFactory.createObject)

Set the text of the Option categoryfield (title of the drop-down list)
newOption.text = data .apiary_name [i]
Console.log ("newoption.text =" + newOption.text);

Add the Option in the drop-down list
DropDown.Add (newOption);
}
}
},

onDataLoaded: {}
dataModel.insertList (data);
}
}
]

onCreationCompleted: {}
When the display of the list has been created, load the data into the listview
and the drop-down list.
dataSource.load ();

JavaScript to set radio button choices using the drop-down list box value.

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version 2015.016.20039 on a MacBook Pro OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6.
I have a set of named CitBox radio box choices. I'm defining what choice is selected from out of a drop-down list named AppCitizenship box. Both of them have six choices with values of 1, 2, etc. (I thought having the same values would make easier the translation from one to the other). Thanks in advance.

If you used the same values, then it is pretty easy. Just use this code as the validation script custom field drop-down list:

this.getField("CitBox").value = event.value;

How to use the drop-down list box to fill in a text box

I'm a beginner when it comes to Java Script. I have seen a lot of different discussions, look at a lot of articles "helping" Acrobat 9 and Java Script, but only to be left confused and dazed. I hope someone can tell me how to write a script that fills a text box that sits on my form with the value of exports of the selection in the combo box...
Thank you

If you want that the read-only text box, simply set with the following custom calculate script:

Set this field to the value of the drop-down list box

Event.Value = getField("combo1").value;

but replace "combo1' with the actual name of the combo box field.

If you want something else, post again with more information.

Attendance problem when you use a drop-down list

I'm trying to show/hide a table when a choice is made in a menu drop-down. It does not work until I did the same thing twice, then I get the expected result. The script is changing and I have used it before with success, although it generally uses a check box. Y at - it an easy solution if everything goes well for this problem? Code below:
If
(this.rawValue == 2)
{
Form1. Page1.OrderSection.OrderItems.blower.presence
= 'visible ';
}
on the other
{
Form1. Page1.OrderSection.OrderItems.blower.presence
= 'hidden ';
}
Thank you

Drop-down lists work slightly differently than expected. the Change the rawValue event contains selected text previously. That's why it works the second time. The current selection is contained in: xfa.event.newText

Using dynamic drop-down list

I've seen countless videos and read a lot of posts on how to create drop down menus, but the script I write still does not work. I am trying to create something pretty basic. I have two drop-down menus on two different pages. The value of the drop-down list on the first page will decide what appears on the drop-down list on the other page. I specified values of element for both lists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. So far, the code I created is as follows:
switch (this.rawValue) { }
case "1" :
ShortList.WaterFireBurglary.WaterDamageOccupancy.addItem ("primary insured
"or staff 24/7");
ShortList.WaterFireBurglary.WaterDamageOccupancy.addItem
("70%-working torque");
breaking ;
case "2" :
ShortList.WaterFireBurglary.WaterDamageOccupancy.addItem ("primary insured or personal 24/7");
ShortList.WaterFireBurglary.WaterDamageOccupancy.addItem
("70%-working torque");
breaking ;
case "3" :
ShortList.WaterFireBurglary.WaterDamageOccupancy.addItem
("Unoccupied 3-6 month/year");
ShortList.WaterFireBurglary.WaterDamageOccupancy.addItem
("Unoccupied more than 6 month/year");
breaking ;
case "4" :
ShortList.WaterFireBurglary.WaterDamageOccupancy.addItem
("Unoccupied 3-6 month/year");
ShortList.WaterFireBurglary.WaterDamageOccupancy.addItem

How can I right - justify text in a drop-down list field in Acrobat 11?

I have a literal that we want to include as a prefix in front of a field of account number. Users wanted an option to use a No.:o account r
Account number:, so I was going to justify the choices in the right drop-down selections but I do not see where to change the alignment propterty. I used spaces before the non-literal account, but it would be better if I could right - justify the selections in the drop-down list box.
Please let me know if there is a way to do it.
Thank you!!!

What exact version number? Look under help - about Adobe Acrobat.

I also use Pro XI and that's what I see:

I just thought of something, you should try... Look under Edit - Preferences - language and make sure that "Enable right-to-left language options" is checked. Maybe cause this option to appear.

How to enable/disable readonly in text fields, drop-down list field?

For example, I have a dropdown field named "DropdownField" and a field of text called 'TextField '.
Within 'DropdownField', I have four choices: Option 1, Option 2, another, combination. When the user first sees the "DropdownField", they see 'Select Option.' When the "DropdownField' select Option, Option 1 or Option 2 selected, I want to 'TextField' to be a read only field. However, what other or combination are selected, I want them to be able to grasp things in the 'TextField', which makes is not readonly. Also, tell someone selects 'Other', but realizes that they have made a mistake, I want them to be able to select Option 1, and have the return of 'TextField' read-only.
Currently I have the JavaScript code as a MouseUp on "DropdownField: action
var getField.DropdownField = drop;
var getField.TextField = text;
If (drop.value! = 'Other' | drop.value! = 'Combination')
{text.readonly = false ;}
on the other
If(drop.value = 'Other' | drop.value = 'Mix')
{text.readonly = true ;}
However, the JavaScript code above doesn't seem to work. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

You must use the event to validate drop-down list and use a script like:
```
var f = getField("TextField");

if (event.value === "Other" || event.value === "Combination") {
  f.readonly = false;
} else {
  f.readonly = true;
  f.value = f.defaultValue;
}
```
Also, set the option in the drop-down list "Value Commit selected immediately".

Don't want to use a drop-down list field
