• Help select the value from a drop-down list box

  Hello

  I develop a script (in JavaScript) which will allow a user to select an export PDF presets (that are loaded in a drop-down list) and then export the InDesign file to PDF, by using the selected PDF preset.

  I have the combo fill properly and I am also able to export to PDF correctly, however I have a problem setting the preset has been selected by the user. Here are some of my code fragments:

  Drop-down list:

  with(borderPanels.add()) {
  
       pdfDD = dropdowns.add();
  
       sl = new Array();
  
       for (i = 0; i < app.pdfExportPresets.length; i++)
  
       sl.push(app.pdfExportPresets[i].name);
  
       pdfDD.stringList = sl;
       pdfDD.selectedIndex = 0;
  }
   
  ...
   
  myPreset = pdfDD.selectedIndex;

  In PDF format:

      // Open, Export, & Close
      for (i = myFileAmount; i >= 0; i--) {
          app.open(File(myFolderContents[i]));
  
          createHyperlinks();
  
          app.activeDocument.exportFile(
          ExportFormat.pdfType, File(myFolder.fsName + "/" + app.activeDocument.name.split(".indd")[0] + ".pdf"), false, myPreset);
          app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
      }

  During the passage of myPreset, it is defined as 6 (the index from the drop-down list).  How can I set myPreset that the real value of what has been chosen?

  Thank you!

  In view of your code, you probably need something like:

  myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName (pdfDD.stringList [pdfDD.selectedIndex]);

• ComboBox drop-down list is not updated

  Hi all!

  I have a problem of the comboBox. Please test this simple code:

  What is happening is that the drop-down list of the combobox control does not display the new values. I guess that I forgot something here.

  Any advice?

• Change the caption of a drop-down list field

  Hi all

  I'm changing the legend of some field drop-down under certain conditions. The following is written on some other field drop-down list:

  If (this.rawValue == 'Ad Hoc payments')

  {    

  xfa.resolveNode ("form. PaymentDetails.ddlInvoiceFrequency.caption #text ") .rawValue group"TEST CAPTION";

  }

  But it seems to not work.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Vijay.

  Try with this:

  delete the caption in the palette of the subject field and type this in the case of change:

  If (xfa.event.newText is "Ad Hoc payments") this.caption.value.text.value = "TEST CAPTION";

• 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 to pre-select an item in a drop-down list

  Hello

  I need to pre-select an item in a drop-down list, but I don't see how to achieve this using the current or existing methods.  I know that if I set the rawValue then it works, but later when I try to retrieve the data in the selected drop-down list the order of the day list, I get an 'empty' which does not help.  What he needs, is the value, the pair of label to work properly. When I manually select an item in the drop-down list, it works perfectly. But not when I try programtically set. So now I wonder if it is possible to set the index for the drop-down menu, so that he believes have a selected item, when I survey I get the correct value.

  Hope you can help.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You can use the selectedIndex property to set the desired value.

  And to retrieve a value, I recommend you to use *.getDisplayItem (*.selectedIndex);

  I hope this will help you!

• By selecting an option in a drop-down list displays a hidden text box and checkbox

  Being fairly new to the creation of pdf form I would be grateful for some assistance.

  I'm looking to have a number of choices in a drop-down list (dropdown1) show a hidden textbox (textbox1) and the box (checkbox1)

  The selections that would show are:

  iPad only

  Or

  Laptop and iPad

  I'm sure it's rather easy.

  Thanks in advance

  You can use this code as the custom for the drop-down list field validation script:

  var f1 = this.getField("textbox1");
  var f2 = this.getField("checkbox1");
  
  if (event.value=="iPad Only" || event.value=="Laptop and iPad") {
      f1.display = display.visible;
      f2.display = display.visible;
  } else {
      f1.display = display.hidden;
      f2.display = display.hidden;
  }
  

• 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

• If statement to change the items in a drop-down list

  Is there a way to change the options in a drop-down list in a script (without data binding)? So I have a drop down list and depending on what the user selects the second drop-down list will have different options. These elements can be specified by an if statement in the preOpen the second dropdown list event? The form will be filled out offline, so I don't want to put a link of data binding.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  There are at least two ways, as shown in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4321707#4321707.  Basically clearItems/addItem if pre Reader 9.0 or setItems supported if you use Reader 9.0 or later.

• Populate drop-down list with the results of several drop-down lists

  Hi, I am creating a form where the results of two drop-down lists then would fill another drop-down list. I'm not new to javascript, but I'm new to using it in Acrobat, so while I found some answers to this: Drop-down list fill in multiple fields of text. I don't know where to implement this, if it is still the right thing, I'm looking for pipes for

  Oh and I use Acrobat Pro DC. Any help would be much appreciated!

  OK, you can create a function at the level of the document that is called in the Validate event of each of the two first drop down menus, something like:

  Function in JavaScript to the document level

  function updateDropdown() {}

  Get references to the drop-down menus of entry

  var F1 = getField ("DropdownList1");

  var F2 = getField ("DropdownList2");

  Refer to the output drop-down list

  F3 var = getField ("DropdownList3");

  Get the values of input field, as strings

  var s1 = event.target = f1? Event.value: f1.valueAsString;

  var s2 = event.target = f2? Event.value: f2.valueAsString;

  Fill the drop-down list of output with the elements, or deselect it if either input dropdown is 'empty' (single topic area)

  If (s1 = "" |) s2 === " ") {

  F3.clearItems ();

  } else {}

  F3.setItems (["", s1, s2]);

  }

  }

  In the two first downs Validate event, call this function like this:

  updateDropdown();

  You can of course name the function you want. More information about the properties and the methods used in the code are available in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.

• 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.

• 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".

• 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.

  Sameh salvation,

  Thanks for the reply. Your code

  1. DCIteratorBinding iter is BindingContext.getCurrent () .getCurrentBindingsEntry () .get ("iteratorNameInPageDef") (DCIteratorBinding);.
  2. Object secondDropdownValue = iter.getCurrentRow () .getAttribute ("AttributeName");  has been really helpful to get the selected value.

  Thank you very much.
