• How do interactive drop down text boxes?

  As many know maybe of my recent posts, I'm pretty new to this thing any design. I get a pretty good shot of most of the things, but now I've reached a point where I am trying to create some interactive features.

  I have a page in a whish magazine iPad is a picture full page. I want to do is have a couple of buttons in random places on the photo, which when it is typed/press/pushed, place a drop-down list text and wraps what tapped/pushed/pressed once again, the text box. I don't know what it is that we call or how to do it so any help is appreciated.

  I can ot understand it myself if someone can give me a general idea of what this kind of issue and the General steps.

  Thanks for the help

  You might want to try State Multi objects (States of objects).

  A State must be an empty block and the other State, a text box.

  Buttons get the 'Go to' action so that you can at different States of objects when you press on them.

  If you are really looking for a way to make interactive (HTML are), you can use HTML (5) and include it in DPS as Web content.

• How can I get a drop-down text box as a form of my PDF document that I send for signature using EchoSign?

  When I create a document using a template from my library, I find that all of the text I included in the text box is scrollable and visible, but after the signing, users are not able to scroll the text and cannot see what is visible in the text box itself.

  Hello Erin,.

  I think that you have added the text field and you filers or adding default values (more than the size of the text field). You must make sure that the length of the text field is appropriate in order to fit all the text inside. If you enter more text that the size of the field, then the rest of the text would be cut.

  Kind regards

• Printed output problem-RH 9 print drop-down text above its parent text. It serves out below!

  Hmmm I found a problem of bad potentionally for our printed output.

  Our documentation project uses many links of menu drop-down (hyper links where the text below the link in the next paragraph). Documentation was written with her expected the text to come out under the text.

  For example, I have this in my HR propject. When I saw, or when I compile in our output HTML Help (chm), it looks like this:

  A string of text Chain of that text a drop-down list appears here Text String B String B drop down text appears here Text of string C String C drop-down text appears here

  However, to the printed output, it produces like this:

  Chain of that text a drop-down list appears here String B drop down text appears here String C drop-down text appears here A string of text Text String B Text of string C

  This is my first generate output printed in RH 9. Previously, we were using 7 HR and aroused as planned, with the drop-down list text to come below.

  Is anyone else seeing this? Do you know a setting or something that might be able to solve this problem?

  Ok. I figured out how to fix it. This was happening in HR 7 too now that I think about it. I hope Adobe will solve this problem, because it's pretty hard to do workaround.

  Here's the background on my project and the solution to my problem.

  Background. It is a project to help straight decompiled html (chm) with high hydrostatic pressure. It was initially generated by RoboHelp 7. I am important in RH 9 to try and generated a textbook printed of this help file. So if you want to reproduce this on your end, create a test project in HR 7 with a drop down link or two. To generate a .chm file. Decompile the chm file and create a file with a LOT of HTML or MS Help Workshop hhp. Open the high hydrostatic pressure inside RH 9. Without change or save all the topics in HR immediately try to make printed output. You will see that the output below.

  Workaround. You must open the assigned topic in the WYSIWYG editor and do a simple (such as adding a space and delete), and then save them then the subject. When you generate the printed output, the drop down links put the image below the parent text. The problem is I have thousands of subjects in this project and it takes FOREVER to solve this problem. I had to resort to a macro during the night opens on each topic, makes a minor change and record before printing. I really hope that there is a way better around this in the future.

• Problems with the sorting of a table with drop-down text cells

  I have 2 subjects (among a number of topics), and each section has a table.

  I followed Mr Grainge help to sort a table without an arrow and in heading 1, it does not work as expected. When I generate my WebHelp I can click on any one of my columns will sort the data. I can see the little black arrow head and black arrow head.

  I know absolutely nothing about HTML and basically followed the instructions for help and got to work.

  The second is a little different in that has 3 columns and rows about 375. The second column contains cells with the drop down text (but not all) as some have yet to be converted.

  The questions are:

  (1) a column will sort once only. So if I click on column 1, the head of black arrow appears. Subsequently, no amount of click will change the State of the data. I can sort the data on any of the 2 remaining columns, but I can never switch between ascendants and descendants of sequence on the same column.

  (2) in Design view, I see all the data in each cell. After that I generated my WebHelp, some of the cells that contain drop-down text fields are missing. Some are, and some are not. Those who are there, work perfectly when I click on the text and the text of the menu drop-down appears. Each drop-down text field has a bookmark.

  ((3) continuous on 2) above, if I use the combination of keys ctrl-w in design, some of the cells that contain text to menu drop-down are missing (probably all those lacking in the Webhelp) and oddly, some of the borders of the cells (I used light blue) are missing. However, they are there in the WebHelp. A sample is attached.

  Get my second table to work as I had hoped would be fantastic and worthwhile so far. However, I'm not quite there yet and need your help and suggestions.

  Please see the last item in the list under the Notes. I suspect this is the problem.

• How to create a DHTML menu link drop-down text involving an object in the same section?

  Hello!

  What I want to achieve is related to a post earlier this week (trying to run 2 targets with the same trigger). The workaround is to insert a link in a menu drop-down text saying something like "Click here to see this area on the image below", but I can't get this trigger to work.

  What I did:

  1. Create as target a text box placed around the area on the image.
  2. Do trigger on a word in the text of the menu drop down.
  3. Using the drum next to the trigger, try to bind to the target.

  The link of the drum don't cross in front of the menu text editor drop-down.

  Anyway to make it work otherwise? Work at home since Tuesday, I can't.

  Thanks again for your help, it's really appreciated.

  Hello

  Here's how I'd do. I absolutely HATE this small editing window. Yes!

  Build the text you want as well as links and triggers in the main part of the subject. Overall, I'm doing this right where the drop will be finally considered. Then select this option and cut in the windows clipboard.

  Now open the cuss pesky lil of a window and select all the items inside. Paste that cut you earlier.

  I said I don't like the small window? I thought I might have.

  Cheers and happy Thursday! Rick

• Drop-down text repetition

  Greetings,
  
  I use RoboHelp X 7 to create a Webhelp project and generate printed documents. One of my subjects has 10 items in menu text drop down. The drop-down text elements generate in the Word document. However, one of these repeats. (i.e., in the doc. feel item1, item2, item3, item3, item4).
  
  Why the repetition occurs and how to solve the problem?
  
  Thank you

  Do not take into account; problem solved. The original author created two items of text to drop down in the same sentence.

• Connection of a drop-down text field and box

  

  I am new to livecycle and have only used it for 2 days. I be so grateful for all the amazing expert help I found here. I think that my first form is almost over. I'm having a problem with one last question. I created a database with two fields. field 1 is name and displays a name I.E. John Doe, zone 2 is ID and contains a single string as 12345678. I created a drop down list for name and it works fine, I see all the names in the database. I then created a text field I want to show ID in.

  Example when

  Name                            ID

  John Doe 12345678

  And if another use is selected

  Name                            ID

  DOE 12345987

  How can I connect these two fields to display the correct data?

  Hello

  When you have linked the drop-down list for the data connection you set the value of the element and the text of the item properties in this dialog box

  

  If you have set the value of the element to ClientID, which would get the customer name and customer id in the drop-down control on the form, then this.boundItem (xfa.event.change) when xfa.event.change contains a text value of the element will return the value of the element (or the id of the customer in your case)

  Concerning

• Initialize a drop-down combo box values in a list?

  I have a list of text values in a pdf Adobe XI.  I have about a dozen of the drop-down list boxes that I want to fill in the list.  I tried the following in terms of document javascript for the first drop-down list box:

  for (var i = 0; i < myList.length; i ++) myCombo.addItem (myList [i] [0] m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ());

  It is the right syntax do what I am trying to accomplish?

  N ° there is no method called addItem(), only setItems().

  If myList is an array of strings, all you have to do is:

  myCombo.setItems (myList);

• linking two fields and fill in the two field based on the list drop-down selection box 1

  I work for a small social service agency VERY small non-profit and I try to get our paperwork until the twentieth century. I hope someone here can help me. I have adobe acrobat, but not of other adobe products. I converted our word document that we use for client notes in fillable pdf format and so far everyone is excited to try it. I have a huge problem that I can't understand. I have a customer named created drop-down list box that contains a list of 300 customers. Box 2 is named customer ID and will contain a unique identification code assigned to each customer.

  For example:

  CUSTOMER ID customer JANE DOE 12345678

  So here is my question how can I ensure that when Unetelle is selected 12345678 is already filled in the second field?

  I fill the drop-down list with the names of customer and then enter the customer ID as the value of exports. Note You must have a unique name for each client.

  If your customer ID starts at zero, then you must use a custom JavaScript, so you can keep the zero non significant.

  For the customer ID field, you can use the following custom JavaScript code:

  Event.Value = this.getField("DropBoxFieldName').valueAsString;

  You will need to change DropBoxFieldName name of the drop-down list.

  You will need a mechanism for updating the new customer form and IDs names.

• Import or copy of list in the drop-down list Excel

  Can someone help me with this?  I have a list of 115 departments that I will fill the drop-down list in an acrobat pdf form and do not have time to enter them one by one...  Is it possible to import this list or to copy / paste?  Help, please...  Thank you very much!

  Here is a link to a very simple PDF file that shows how you can fill a combo box (aka drop down) with a list of items that can be pasted into a text field, after copying the Excel (or another source): https://acrobat.com/#d=sIJoabh12oYOY19AuTZ9yw

  The idea is that once the drop-down list is populated after having clicked the "Populate combo box" button, you can copy & paste the field to your form. Don't forget to search for duplicates and empty lines.

• Drop-down list conditionally new drop-down list

  Hello world

  I am very bad at Java, I can usually get good reading but don't know enough syntax to write anything.  I read to the last hours of the couple and can not find any tutorial or the discussion for the script that I am creating.

  I want to have a dropdown menu with 3 options: phone, Email, Fax

  If the user selects by e-mail or fax drop-down list of other is hidden

  If they user selects phone I want another set to appear with 3 options such as cell phones, home, office, so they can choose which phone

  If anyone can point me in the right direction or help me with a script, it would be greatly appreciated.

  I found some scripts by using the checkboxes and I tried to adapt to this, but I'm not sure if I select both boxes when you change the script or only one or the other.

  Thank you!

  PS I use 8.0

  The text of your drop-down entries matching the text you have in the script in the stated case? Its case.

  Otherwise might be easier to view the form somewhere and can take a peek

• Drop-down lists don't drop-down list in Firefox 5

  Since upgrading to Firefox 5, drop-down lists on Web sites, no longer drop-down list. They work OK in IE, Chrome, Safari, et al, and they worked in FF4 - simply no FF5.
  This seems to happen on all websites but I can't believe that something this blatant has not been noticed by someone else, so I think that something unique to my setup.
  I can't fill the box "It happened": the drop-down list does not work!

  Same problem here. Win 7 64 bit, after update to FF5 no Dropdown HTML more doesn't work. I try with all the addons disabled and with a new profile, nothing works for me.

  Pleas help!

• import information to build a list and fill in the text boxes

  I would like to make a shape something like this tutorial (https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field) where a drop down menu fills text fields. Its for an address book of all kinds. The customer name in the drop-down list, first line of text form would address, second, city, state and zip.

  Is it possible to have this information imported from a text file, file xml or something a little easier to manipulate outside of acrobat? It would be the best of the worlds so he could shoot from an excel document.

  Something like that? Scripts custom Adobe: Acrobat - fill the drop-down list
