Linking drop down boxes to selected layers

Question

Hi all,
Acrobat noob here.
I've created a map with a legend. Exported it to pdf and then linked selectable buttons in the legend to the layers on the map so when I click on secondary schools in the legend all the secondary schools on the map show as points.
Now what I want to do with those points is either if I hover or click on the point that information about the secondary school shows, I also want to do that with every layer that I have on the map. I have other layers such as Primary Schools and Libraries etc that also show as points on the map. I know I can do this, the issue with this is that if there are points close together that it will be impossible for the user to select the one they want. So I was hoping that there's some script out there to run so that when one layer is selected that only the drop down menus linked to that layer show.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Gav

Hi Ralph,
therefore you can write a simple ABAP RFC. Start the transaction SE80 and create a RFC function module.
If you use text in your infoobject ZDIVISION you can use a simple ABAP:
FUNCTION ZZ_GET_MD_ZDIVISION .
*"*"Lokale Schnittstelle:
*"  TABLES
*"      T_TABLE_VIEW STRUCTURE  /BIC/TZDVISION OPTIONAL
* For reading the data from the textable
SELECT * FROM /BIC/TZDVISION INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE T_TABLE_VIEW.
ENDFUNCTION.
Then you can use a dynamic entry list and choose for the key F_BIC_DIVISION and TXTSH or TXTMD for your text.
Then you have to create your RFC function module for ZPRODUCT, this could look like:
FUNCTION ZZ_GET_MD_PRODUCT .
*"*"Lokale Schnittstelle:
*"  IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(I_SEARCH) TYPE  STRING OPTIONAL
*"  TABLES
*"      T_TABLE_VIEW STRUCTURE  /BIC/TZPROCUDT OPTIONAL
data: l_condition type string.
* Preparing String for SQL Statement e.g. A% for Division A
CONCATENATE '''' I_SEARCH '%' '''' INTO I_SEARCH.
CONCATENATE 'ZPRODUCT LIKE' I_SEARCH INTO l_condition SEPARATED BY SPACE.
* For reading the data from the textable
SELECT * FROM /BIC/TZPROCUDT INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE T_TABLE_VIEW WHERE (l_condition).
ENDFUNCTION.
Then you create a dynamic entry list for ZPRODUCT and choose for input (I_SEARCH) the value of the divsion and for output again ZPRODUCT for the key and if you use text TXTMD or TXTSH for the texts.
Hope that helps,
Best Regards,
Marcel
