Options in the drop-down list in HTML/PDF output using Adobe InDesign.

Hi all

Can someone tell me how to make a drop down feature list using InDesign options?

Output is HTML & PDF...

My requirement is like by placing the cursor on the text or images, the dropdown list should appear in the output.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Aravind

Your example is a context menu and is usually scheduled as part of an operating system or application, with the choice of the menu that offers other functions of the application. It would be really handy create this kind of feature for a standalone PDF document.

  • How to pass data in the drop-down list to two separate outputs

    Hi all

    currently I have a drop-down list named chg with this value:
    ValeurRet += "< option >" + bean.getCode () + "-" + bean.getDescr () + "< / option >";
    Therefore, the value of my combo would be sth like this: 00000 - something

    the problem is that when I recover data return selected in the list, the value will be a string as above and not two separate the value.

    I need to pass the value here in order for me to compare the string containing the data in my database:
    nim.setCode (RutString.getParameterToString (request, "chg"));
    nim.setDescr (RutString.getParameterToString (request, "chg"));

    Now the data in my database is the following:
    Code: 00000
    DESC: something

    given that the above value is contained in the chg rather than the reverse, I couldn't use AS for my select statement.

    So is it possible for me this problem? Thnks in advance for your help!

    You can do two things:
    (1) pass the selection string from the sql query and use the sql functions (or pl/sql) to cut the chain and use only the part you are looking for (SQL has a SUBSTR function and others that allow you to do this)
    (2) you want to at any time in your workflow in a java class, you can do this with the String methods and the parts of the query string.

  • Why acrobat pro XI is not displayed in the drop-down list to install?

    IM installing acrobat XI pro on a mac and it does not appear as a product option in the drop-down list to match with the serial number? It says serial number is valid but cannot see the product on computer. Yet, it is installed and has been saved.

    I went to http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_softw are_sl_mostpopular_au.html

    Only upgrades cost a $ 282. To get the upgrade price, you need to select the product you already own.

    Full fare is $ 637.

    You will probably need to contact Adobe to pay off first purchase and convert it to full fare - but don't wait, there may be a time limit.

  • Update from the drop-down list on the duration

    Hello, I'm fairly new to Java and Blackberry development.

    I am doing an application with a few editable text fields and drop-down lists. What I want to do is to change the options from the drop-down list (ObjectChoiceField), according to what is written on the text fields, all without pressing a button. Can someone give me a hand here? I thought to use invalidateAll to redraw the field, but I'm not sure.

    Thank you.

    OK, something else, this looks bad for me:

    your having

    unitChoiceField.setChangeListener (editListener);

    But editListener is not defined until after that, so with that statement, you're

    the listener of null changes.

    Put this line after you set your headset to changes.

    Also we say something "does not work", is not very useful.  If please do some debugging and tell us what he does not she should do this, rather than saying that it does not work.  Imagine that you took your car be fixed and told them that it did not work.  Would they be able to fix it?

  • Unable to choose in the drop-down list

    I don't know what his name, so I'll give an example. I go on YouTube and open my subscriptions & playlist. I push the tab more, and I can see my other titles of the playlist. When I try to type on one of the titles, the option button close. I can not open & take an option on a website. If I have the chance and I was fast enough to push an option before the box closes it will open the file or the site without problem. I tried double tapping on the option button to keep it open, but it never works. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft community.

    If I have understood correctly, you are unable to choose an option in the drop-down list.

    If you have another browser option, I suggest that you try to open the particular website on this browser and see if it works.

    Please perform the following methods to resolve the problem, if you use Internet Explorer as your browser:

    Method 1:

    This can be caused because of compatibility problems with the Web site. Then I suggest that you try to open the Web site in compatibility mode.

    Check out the following link to open a website in compatibility mode:

    If this does not work, try Method 2.

    Method 2:

    Try resetting Internet Explorer.

    Note: By resetting Internet Explorer settings, return you it to the State wherever it was when it was first installed on your computer. This is useful to solve the problems that could be caused by the settings that have been changed after installation.

  • Defining form fields such as required based on the entry in the drop-down list

    I'm trying to set the properties of a few form fields as required in the case of a specific value is selected from a drop-down list.

    I entered the code of the tab actions from the drop-down list properties below > mouse down > run a java script. The problem is that it works only if I come out and enter again the drop-down list. "I tried to invoke the code with"Mouse down","Mouse entry", out of the mouse ' none of them worked unless I go out and again the drop-down list.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    var devused is this.getField ("device");.

    var comptype is this.getField ("Type of complaint");.

    var proname = this.getField ("product name");

    var feels = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");

    If (comptype.value == 'Associated Product complaint') {}

    devused. Required = true;

    proname. Required = true;

    smells. Required = true;

    }

    else {}

    devused. Required = false;

    proname. Required = false;

    smells. Required = false;

    }

    What you describe is the way documented in what forms Acrobat and Acrobat JS behave by Form Event Processing

    For your described form, we can use a custom format for the field drop-down list script:

    If (event.willCommit! = true & event.changeEx! = "")
    {
    var devused = this.getField ("device");
    var proname = this.getField ("product name");
    Envoy of var = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");
    Switch (Event.changeEx)
    {
    case "related product": complaint
    devused. Required = true;
    proname. Required = true;
    smells. Required = true;
    break; Go at the end of the switch;
    Repeat fdor each value of the option in the drop-down list.
    by default:
    If no match for the above cases, it is found;
    devused. Required = false;
    proname. Required = false;
    smells. Required = false;
    break;
    } / / end of switch event.changeEx;
    } / / end not true willCommit;

    You must set the ' Commit selected value immediately "and as one moves upwards or downwards the options, the related fields will change and stay together when you exit the field note that the field name is not used in the script because the field is the event object until it leaves the field.

  • Display the export value of the drop-down list instead of the element

    I'm showing the value to the export of a drop-down list instead of the selected option or the user selects BLACK, but the value of exports of BLK is actually displayed.  I can find many discussions on how to get the value of the exports and display it or use it to trigger another answer in another area and I can usually tweak my existing JavaScripts when I need something new, but I just can't wrap my head around this!

    This is my last attempt (failed)

    var f = this.getField ("eyes");

    If (event.value is 'Black - BLK')

    f.Value = "BLK".

    I use Acrobat PRO DC.

    Any help is appreciated,

    Thank you

    I've been doing this for a long time and have never heard of anyone who wants something like this, so it is interesting. Remove your current script and try the following script Format customized drop eyes:

    Custom drop-down list Format script

    Event.Value = event.target.getItemAt (event.target.currentValueIndices, true);

    This defines what is displayed in the drop-down list in the value of exports of the selected item. Select the 'Value selected to validate immediately' option to the drop-down list for smoother operation.

  • Value selected in the drop-down list, the value border and subform border color

    OK, I'm busy to create a form that has a field drop-down list. There are five values inside the drop-down list. I have also four subforms which contain tables and fields for each option in the drop-down list except the first. Now, I want to put the border and the color of the border of the subform if you have selected the correct value.

    As part of the output, I created the code as follows:

    If (this.rawValue == '5') {}

    this.resolveNode("TextfieldName").presence = "visible"; This affects a visible text... works like a charm

    Optie1.UI.oneOfChild.border.color.value = "255,153,0"; After an example I found Niall

    Optie1.UI.oneOfChild.border.color.thickness = "0,0200" in

    }

    I've changed this in Optie1, is the name of the subform. Somehow it is not applied in the subform. I know I'm wrong, but can't find what I want on the forums. Someone at - it an idea on that?

    Well, managed to resolve myself to play around with the code.

    It should be:

    Optie1.border.edge.color.value and Optie1.border.edge.thickness.

    Sorry we are not moving right:

    We don't use Web DynPro, so cannot advise here. It seems you might be deploy / using the form in HTML (instead of Acrobat/Reader); This could have an impact on the drop-down list.

    We also use dynamic SQL with drop-down lists, as you have demonstrated. However, we can script to the default value, so I don't know why you can't achieve a similar result.

    Sorry,

    Niall
