Adobe Form... Is there a way to use a drop down menu to highlight or note other fields...

I am working on a simple Adobe form.  I am currently trying to figure out if there is a way to use the answers of a drop down menu to either mark, note or highlight 14 other fields.  There are 9 possibilities in the drop down menu, include a blank and NONE.
For example if the drop down menu is set to 1, then field 9, 10 and 14 are marked, noted or highlighted. 
Is this possible with a script?
Thank you in advance for any help! 

Have you looked at the properties that are available to form fields. I would look at setting the fill color or border color for a form field. Either of these can be done with Acrobat JavaScript.

  • Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

    Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps?  I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    You would use the skip logic to conditionally show form items based on the selection within the drop-down menu. Here's a link to a description of the feature in our help documentation:

    I'm not sure if I understood your question clearly but here is a good resource on how to get attributes from "GetUserProfileByName" web services:

    Regarding filtering dropdown list then this could be done by applying form on-load rules. 
    Hope this helps

  • While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

    While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again.  Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks

    I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

  • Is there a way to use the drop zones as a preview area for highlighted video

    I'm making a fairly simple dvd menu, using the centre stage theme  Title Page and I was wondering if there was anway to use the drop zone as a preview area for the highlighted video.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    It is at least possibly to use some buttons like this - But to get this right I had to make special button movies from the big original movie.
    My problem started when I used the original movie that I could not go back far enough for the last buttons and not precise enough either - so by making the small button movies I got 100% control.

  • Is there a way to create interactive drop downs?

    I have a product form that I am trying to create a warranty list that allows the user to be able to select specific warranties based on the products they are using.
    For example, If the form user selects from a drop down that they are using Product # 1, it will give them another drop down with a list of options for warranties available for that Product. If they choose Product #2, it will give them different warranty options that are available for that product.
    If this is possible, is it also able to do more than one level of options. I would like to add a color option in there and warranty length as well.
    I know this can be done in Livecycle, but can it be done using the Adobe form tools? My company primarily uses IPads with the PDF Expert app and this is one form that they want accessible.
    I am also a beginner with java and form creation so a dumbed down version of an answer would be appreciated.

    Yes, it's possible with an acroform. I'd have to check to see if PDF Expert supports the JavaScript that you'd need to use before saying it will work there. It has decent support for JavaScript, but it's not complete as is Reader for Windows/Mac. Unfortunately, Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't support it at all. Here's a link to a series of tutorials that should get you started: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/js_list_combo_livecycle1

  • Is there a way to expand all drop-down text in a single topic in the editor?

    I'm going through all the topics in a large RH10 project manually checking various things. A lot of topics contain drop-down text and to view the contents, I'm having to right click on each one and select 'Drop-down text properties'. Which is taking FOREVER. So:
    a) is there an option to expand all drop-down text in the current topic? I'm sure I remember this from a previous version but can't find it now.
    b) is there a keyboard shortcut to open drop-down text?
    Please say yes.

    a] Yes.
    b] No.
    There is nothing in Rh but there is a method on my site and on htttp://wvanweelden.eu The same scripts, just different explanations.

  • Using a "drop down menu"

    I would like to create a "drop down menu" so that the user can select from a list of options and based upon their selection, the rest of the Labview program will run with the option-specific parameters. Is there a way to do this using the "prompt user for input" icon, or...

    In LabVIEW 8.x, a popup menu can be associated with any controls/indicators. Just right click on control and go to Advanced...as shown below. You'll have access to a configuration window. The Run-Time shortcut menu is managed using the event structure.

  • Using a drop down menu as navigation

    Good morning all!
    I have been struggling with making a drop down menu work as navigation for a while and finally need to reach out to all you brilliant people on this forum. 
    I currently have a drop down menu with three items(Nav1, Nav, 2, Nav3) corresponding to three pages(Screen1, Screen2, Screen3). When I first created the menu it seemed I could only use the OnChange option to use navigation with the menu because, when using
    the OnSelect I only get these options:
    If(Datasource!Selected!Title
    /// and ///
    If(Datasource!Selected!Value
    If I use the first option the title listed on my data source doesn't work, I get the red squiggly line. If I use the second option (Value) I have no value listed in my data source. 
    Therefore I used the OnChange option, I can get the menu to navigate to the first page, however I realized that this option chances to one single page no matter what the menu option changes to.
    Does anyone know how to make a drop down into a fully functioning navigation menu?
    The other issue I ran into was resetting the drop down to the first list item upson returning to the screen however,   ptr.chovan,
    offered this working solution:
    set a variable in screen1 property OnVisible
    UpdateContext({active: true})
    and in screen1 property OnHidden
    UpdateContext({active: false})
    Then in dropdown visual add this in Items
    If(active=true, .... your data source here ...)
    Or perhaps easiest way is instead of resetting datasource of dropdown, you can reset  dropdown default by adding this into Default property
    of dropdown
    If(active=true, "Screen1")

    If your Items in dropdown1 are
    ["Nav1", "Nav2", "Nav3"]
    Then use OnChange property of the dropdown1
    If(Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav1", Navigate(Screen2,""), Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav2", Navigate(Screen3,""), Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav3", Navigate(Screen4,""))
    Does the other solution of resetting dropdown helped you?

  • What is the best way to create a drop down Menu

    It is my frist time using Dreamwaever CC and i was wondering if there was a jQuery UI widget that could make, creating a drop down menu easir.

    *Best* is subjective and depends on what you require.
    For multi-level CSS drop-menus, this one is nice:

  • Presence problem when using a drop-down menu

    I am trying to show/hide a table when a choice is made from a drop-down menu. It doesn't work until I make the same choice twice, then I get the expected result. The script is under Change and I have used it before successfully, albeit it has typically been using a check box. Is there an easy fix hopefully for this problem? Code below:
    if 
    (this.rawValue == 2){
    form1.Page1.OrderSection.OrderItems.Blower.presence
    = "visible";}
    else
    form1.Page1.OrderSection.OrderItems.Blower.presence
    = "hidden";}
    Thanks

    Drop-down lists work a little differently than expected; in the Change event the rawValue contains the previously selected text.  That's why it works the second time.  The current selection is contained in: xfa.event.newText

  • Speaker drop down menu in itunes is not there.

    I have airport express and set up airtunes, but itunes does not have a drop down menu to pick which speakers to play through. There seems to be no support docs on this. The airtunes setup page makes it sound like, hey, no problem, just choose the speakers from the drop down menu in the bottom right of itunes. But it just ain't there, and there is no advice on how to make it work. The airtunes instructions are very lame. It works great for the Internet, and all the software is up to date. I've rebooted, restarted itunes, and airport express. No go. They made it sound so great when I bought airport express.

    Ok, got link by pasting
    To stream music from your computer to an AirPort Express, or to stream videos and music from your computer to Apple TV, click the icon in the bottom right corner of the iTunes application (verify that you have iTunes 10.2 or later)."
    But , my iTunes, 10.5, has no such icon.
