Drop-down list field

• 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 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".

• Create a dynamic drop-down list field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

  Hi all. I am creating a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a drop down list of 'core' items, and according to what is selected in the list, I want a second drop-down list to give different choices. I've searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I'm have a mistake or I'm place javascript code in the wrong place, because it does not work. I know very, very little about javascript, any help would be so appreciated.

  I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field" and selected "drop-down list. The domain name is ProvType. The options of the menu drop-down are:

  Hospitalized patients

  External consultations

  Doctor

  I have "Commit selected value immediately" selected. The field is not validated. The format is 'none '. There is no measures or calculations associated with it.

  I then created another dropbox and named SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as the mouse upwards and then selected the Action "executes a JavaScript script. I selected the Add button and he hit in the JavaScript editor:

  Switch (ProvType.rawValue)

  {

  case "Hospitalisation":

  this.setItems ("Hospice, hospital, Nursing Facility");

  break;

  "outpatient": case

  this.setItems ("adult day Center, Home, others");

  break;

  case 'doctor ':

  this.setItems ("surgeon, general practitioner, neurologist");

  break;

  }

  What I want to do is:

  If "Hospitalization" is selected, I want only the following options to be available in the second drop-down list box "SubProvType":

  Palliative care

  Hospital

  Nursing facility

  If "outpatient" is selected, I want only the following options to be available in the second drop-down list box "SubProvType":

  Adult day Center

  Home

  Other

  If the 'doctor' is selected, I want these options to be available in the second drop-down list box "SubProvType":

  Surgeon

  Family practice

  Neurologist

  However... when I close form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, SubProvType field is left blank and there is no options available. Also, there are no errors.

  I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

  Use this code as the ProvType custom validation script (and remove any code that you have associated with SubProvType):

  switch (event.value) {
      case "Inpatient":
          this.getField("SubProvType").setItems(["Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility"]);
          break;
      case "Outpatient":
          this.getField("SubProvType").setItems(["Adult Day Center,Home,Other"]);
          break;
      case "Physician":
          this.getField("SubProvType").setItems(["Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist"]);
          break;
  }
  

• Show drop-down list field hide selection in another drop-down list box

  Hello I need to create two drop-down fields on a dynamic PDF in LiveCycle. The first field contains three choices. When a user selects an item in the drop-down list first I would like to a new field of drop-down list has been shown. For each item in the first drop-down list appears a new field drop-down list with unique values. If the user chooses blue drop-down list of blue shades indicate in this menu drop-down will be various shades of blue to choose for. If the Red is chosen, Shades of Red dropdown with appearance and if yellow is displayed the same occurs. Also if the user must go back and change their selection in the first drop-down list, they can do the same. Any suggestions?

  Thank you in advance.

  There are 2 ways you could do this. The first is just to have the 3 drop-down lists for the second box to separate and do them all hidden. The output of the first dropdown event would then have the code that would make it the second box become visible, something like (in formcalc):

  If ($ == 1) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "visible".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

  ElseIf ($ == 2) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "visible".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

  ElseIf ($ == 3) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "visible".

  endif

  The other option is just to have a dropdown that dynamically changes its options based on the results of the first box. So in the second box preOpen event you might have something like (in formcalc):

  If (dropdown1 == 1) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("light red, dark red")

  ElseIf (dropdown1 == 2) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("sky blue, dark blue")

  ElseIf (dropdown1 == 3) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("light yellow, dark yellow")

  endif

• Select the point in combobox/drop-down list, fields to update

  Hello

  I have a drop-down list. When a user makes a selection, I would like to query a database and return the results to be displayed in a form. Note, I don't want users to have to press a button, it should happen when an element is pressed. It sounds simple enough, but because I'm new, I'm fighting.

  I understand that I need to create a 'change' and then Manager in this handler, I need to run my t service get the data, but then when I try to access these data, nothing happens. I have to Bind something to the combobox? Here is my code.

  "" < s:ComboBox id = "lcidComboBox"change = "lcidComboBox_changeHandler (event)" labelField = "name" selectedItem ="bills.locn{}'> "

  " < s:AsyncListView list =" getLocationsResult.lastResult{}"/ > "

  < / s:ComboBox >

  protected function lcidComboBox_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void

  {

  getLocationsResult.token = locationService.getLocations ();

  trace (locations.snam); <-this is not anything!

  }

  See you soon,.

  OK, think about it. I needed to include a tag Binding then call my answering machine, the object is able to be called and I can view its properties.

  protected function lcidComboBox_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void

  {

  getLocationsResult.token = locationService.getLocations ();

  snamTextInput.text = locations.snam;

• Validate the mandatory drop-down list field

  I currently have a button at the end of my form for users to print the form once it is over.

  
  The button has the following script to validate that all required fields are completed (and to provide notice to those who are left blank)

  var emptyFields = [];

  for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i ++) {}

  var f = this.getField (this.getNthFieldName (i));

  If (f.type! = "button" & & f.required ") {}

  If ((f.type=="text" & & f.value== "") |) (f.type=="checkbox" & & f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push (f.name);

  }

  }

  If (emptyFields.length > 0) {}

  App.Alert ("error! ("You must fill in the following fields: \n" + emptyFields.join ("\n"));

  }

  However, I noticed that the necessary menu drop-down boxes do not appear in this validation and I was wondering how I would go all change this script to include in the validation.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  I did some successful tests with this code:

  var emptyFields = new Array(); Table to contain the names of incomplete fields;
  var oField; variable object field being tested;
  var bprocess = true; guess that all of the fields completed;
  for (var i = 0; i)< this.numfields;="" i++)="">
  oField = this.getField (this.getNthFieldName (i));
  If (oField.type! = "button" & oField.required ") {}
  check according to the type of field
  {Switch (oField.type)}
  case "button":
  do nothing;
  break;
  case 'checkbox ':
  case 'radiobutton ':
  If (oField.value == oField.defaultValue & oField.value == "Off") {}
  emptyFields.push (f.name);
  bprocess = false;
  }
  break;
  case "combobox":
  case "listbox":
  case 'text ':
  if(oField.Value == oField.DefaultValue) {}
  emptyFields.push (oField.name);
  bprocess = false;
  }
  break;
  case "signature":
  if(oField.Value == oField.DefaultValue) {}
  emptyFields.push (f.name);
  bprocess = false;
  }
  break;
  by default:
  App.Alert ("Field not processed" + oField.name + "type" + oField.type, 1, 0);
  bprocess = false;
  break;
  } / / end switch type;
  } / / end if necessary;
  } / / end of loop fields;

  If (bprocess == true) {}
  do something;
  App.Alert ("all areas completed", 3, 0);
  } else {}
  App.Alert ("error! ("You must fill in the following fields: \n" + emptyFields.join ("\n"), 1, 0);

• Code JavaScript for buttons, drop-down lists, and text fields

  Hello, I currently have a form with a drop-down list field that fills a text field with something according to what is selected in the drop-down list via a custom script typo.
