Drop-down navigation in Acrobat

Hi,
I am trying to create a drop-down navigation in Acrobat for a multi-page pdf.
Each item in the drop-down corresponds to a page: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, etc.
I intend to replicate the navigation at the top corner of each page, allowing someone to jump to any page in the pdf from any page in the pdf.
Is there an easy way to do this? I need it to be readable in Acrobat Reader, so InDesign functionality is out.
I can create a drop-down navigation in Acrobat using the Form tools, but how do I assign the various actions (so if someone clicks page 4, it goes to page 4)?
Thanks!

You can use a custom validation script, like this:
if (event.value=="Page 1") this.pageNum = 0;
if (event.value=="Page 2") this.pageNum = 1;
if (event.value=="Page 3") this.pageNum = 2;
// etc.
Make sure to tick the option to commit the selected value immediately under Properties - Options.

  • How do I fix my floating drop down navigational menu?

    Hello, I am currently reworking my website to make it responsive, but I have hit a roadblock with my navigation menu:
    My goal for the menu is to have a floating navigational menu in which as the user hovers over the link the image changes. One of the tabs is intended to be a submenu that drops down horizontally. I also am trying to get the menu centered on the page using fluid positioning.
    As of now, I have a functional drop down menu with the rollover effects. It wasn't until I began work on floating the menu that I ran into a problem. At first, the menu was not scaling proportioally with the rest of the page, but upon looking around, I found: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/beautiful-css-centered-menus-no-hacks-full-cross-browse r-support.
    Using the code on the link, I recoding the menu. In the end, the drop down menu is causing the problem. When I have the drop down menu still included in the code, the menu is broken up in three lines. The submenu is grouped with its parent, but they are grouped boxy (at least in the browsers I have checked) and only two are visible.
    I decided to humor myself and removed the code for the drop down menu to find that the menu works perfectly--it does everything I was aiming for for the time being--rollover, center, floating.
    Is there something that I am overlooking that will fix the drop down menu?
    I was thinking that I would have to center the styles for the sub menu, but I didn't see any results.
    What am I missing that I am not seeing?
    The links to the two pages:
    http://ryanolsenstudios.com/WithDropDown.html
    http://ryanolsenstudios.com/WithoutDropDown.html
    If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated, I have been looking around trying to figure this out, but to no avail. Thank you.

    I don't advise you use images for navigation as they are NOT scalable to any good effect.
    Below is a simplified version of your image buttons with dropdowns in place.
    The jQuery used to create the rollover swaps is going to get very long and unmanagable (it's just as an example) I suspect there will be more streamlined solutions using jQuery if you Google, like just adding _static.jpg and_over.jpg to the end of the image src, which will keep the code to a minimum of lines.

  • Creating a drop down list using acrobat forms

    I'm working on a macintosh computer, sysem 10, acrobat 9.
    I'm a financial printer and I'm making a prepress order form in a pdf file
    I want to make a drop down list so that I can change print venders.
    The information in the drop down list will contain my print venders critical information , for example:
    Name of vender
    primary contact: Names & phone number & fax number
    email address, etc.
    I haven't really worked with forms before. I was able to set up my text fields and check boxes OK.
    But I can't seem to figure the combo boxes or list boxes so I can enter the information I just described.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Daniel G

  • How to import excel list into drop down menu in acrobat pro DC

    Does anyone know if an excel list of 527 items can be imported into a drop down menu in adobe acrobat DC? I am on a mac v10.10.

    I would convert the Excel worksheet into a tab delimited file. Edit that file in a text editor, not Word, into a list that meets the formatting for the array for the setItems. method. Then add the code to use that array to set the items for the drop down field. So you have something like:
    var MyItems = new Array("One", "Two", "Three");
    this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems(MyItems);
    You can then cut and paste this into the JavaScript console, highlight text and execute the text. Or cut and paste the code into a document level JavaScript.

  • HELP need info about drop-down navigation menu

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if I could get some input. I have just
    re-designed our magazine's site, www.easternsurf.com
    I used Pop-Up menu function in Fireworks 8 to generate our
    Navigator bar. For the most part everything has been working well,
    BUT we've had a couple of complaints that the navigator bar's
    pull-down menus get stuck behind the photos/banner ads/etc. instead
    of in front of them when viewing in Internet Explorer. I'm on the
    Mac platform (OSX Tiger/Macromedia Studio 8) and have seen no
    problems viewing in Safari, Firefox and Netscape. The only
    complaints have come from Internet Explorer users. A couple of
    people updated their browser to the newest version and the problem
    disappeared, however we've still had a couple of people that have
    written in that the newest version of IE is still not displaying
    properly.
    Also we've got a strip of button ads running down the left
    hand side of each page and I've also seen another issue that's
    common on sites of this type...when the pulldown menu overlaps with
    a Flash element, there is a problem with the screen re-draw. I've
    seen this on several other sites and know it's a common problem,
    but does anyone know of a workaround where this won't happen? I
    just noticed that signing on to Adobe's site, there almost seems to
    be a command where the menu keeps re-drawing at a very rapid rate
    so this won't happen.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated, although I'm Mac all
    the way, we are a business and have to get this site visible for
    everyone!
    Thanks!

  • Drop down navigation menu

    I like the automatic navigation menu feature but I have some lower level pages that I want to include with a rollover. For example, when people rollover the About Me link in the navigation menu I would like 3 "lower lever" pages to show so that people can either choose the About Me page or one of the other 3 pages. Is this possible using iWeb?

    iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
    Sometime you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
    So use that textbox in the Header layer. Type your text. Then select the textbox. In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
    Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller. (Or do Command--(minus)) Also use a font that doesn't change to an images. Arial is a good font. Perhaps do it first before make it invisble.
    Resize the textbox.
    Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
    Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
    Do not remove the original textbox, as you cannot replace it other than by selecting another theme and then change it back to the original theme again. Ruining the layout in the process.
    Why use a timewasting 3rd party application to add a title when it is already possible in iWeb itself.

  • Acrobat 8 Professional - Drop Down Calendar

    Is there a way to add a drop down calendar in Acrobat 8 Professional that will export the data in MM:DD:YYYY format?
    I can add a form in LiveCycle Designer that is a drop down calendar but I can not seem to find this option in Acrobat.

  • Why won't my drop down list display on hover?

    I am currently implementing a drop down navigation list to an existing navigation bar. This uses very basic html with only ul and li elements. Below is a link to the page, as well as a snippet of the HTML code and CSS that supports it.
    http://derektoigo.com/assets/livesites/DJDKMedia/features.html
    The problem that I am having occurs when hovering over the Features link in my navigation bar. I am trying to display the items that are shown below in the format of a vertical list, but the bigger problem is that even though I am hovering over the parent CSS item and it says to display:block, essentially causing it to hover so I can click, I can't do so. I'm trying to find a way to make the menu stay in place once I move my mouse away from the original item. Please note that none of the other pages support this functionality yet and will contain different code.
    For the record, I am using the Suckerfish drop down and I am following this tutorial: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns  I stopped just before proceeding with the IE fixes, titled as "Hold on a minute!"
    If anyone can point out what I'm doing wrong, I'd be most appreciative for the fix. Thanks to all for your help.

  • WebHelp User Centric Drop-down not appearing in Nav Pane

    Hi,
    I am using RoboHelp 9 and generating WebHelp for three User types - Administrator, aTest Engineer, and Operator. I want each of these to be DUCC selectable from a drop down at the top of the Nav pane and am using the Chrisi WebHelp skin which allows for this.
    I have created three different TOCs one for each, and am generating three different single source WebHelp layouts.  They each compile fine, but the drop down navigation bar that allows you to select the appropriate WebHelp above the navigation pane (along with the left and right browse arrows) is not visible. 
    What should I be doing so this appears?  
    I am a new RoboHelp 9 user.
    Many thanks.

    Welcome to our community
    Unfortunately you are misunderstanding how DUCC works. You don't create it by generating seperate layouts. Instead, you generate a single layout that has DUCC configured.
    Basically, you edit the properties of your Single Source Layout recipe. Then you click the Content Categories section.
    In this area you define your different categories such as Administrator, aTest Engineer, and Operator by clicking the New button.
    Then you edit each category to define the associated TOC and whatnot.
    Once you have done this and generated, you should then things should just be DUCC'y!
    Cheers... Rick

  • Spry drop-down nav bar not working in Netscape 7

    Hello
    My site is up at www.Frontiers.uk.net.
    I built a drop down navigation menu using Dreamweaver's new
    Spry feature. It works fine in IE 6 & 7, Firefox & Mozilla,
    but in Netscape 7 (the only Netscape I've tested), the dop-down
    menus don't always appear (eg under Courses), and the submenus,
    which should slide out to the right (eg. next to 'Children's
    courses' under Courses) - do not work.
    This bothers me as my stats (LiveStats) say that 30% of my
    users (the highest amount) are using Netscape 7.x. Which I find
    strange (I don't think that figure includes Firefox as the stats
    list that separately).
    Anyone else have this problem, and any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    James

    Have you contacted Project VII support or searched their knowledge base?

    Also, is there any way to remove unused styles (in an external CSS) in DW? Just it would be a pain to go through and remove the styles I've tried, but then later decided not to use.
    Not exaclty a DW answer, but I've used the free FireFox add-on to help me find unused selectors. Point it to a sitemap.xml and it can spider the whole site (as listed in that xml file).

    But be careful with it. It apparently doesn't read JavaScript and your PMM triggers are actually used.

  • Need Help with Spry Drop Down Menu

    Greetings,
    I'm a Dreamweaver beginner, and I'm currently working on a
    redesign of our corporate website, and I would really like to
    incorporate a drop down navigation system. So far, I've gotten
    close to what I would like to have, except there are a few items I
    just can't figure out. Here's what I have so far:
    Click
    Here
    As you can see, whenever you hover over one of the links, a
    sub menu appears. This is great and everything, except I would
    really like to make two minor adjustments:
    1) I would like to decrease the line-spacing between the main
    menu and the submenus.
    2) I would like to change the font color of the sub-menu for
    better readability.
    I created this menu using Dreamweaver's Spry Menu feature. To
    get the desired results so far, I simply played around with the CSS
    file. The only two things I can't figure out are the above. I tried
    to change the font color of the submenus in the CSS file, but there
    is no tag that allows you to do this. I found a "Help" document on
    repositioning the location of the submenus but every time I try, I
    don't get any noticeable results.
    Any ideas on how to pull off what I'm looking to do? Any
    replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Spacing in drop down menu

    I have made a drop down navigation menu in dreamweaver cs6 but I would like to shrink some of the spacing between the menu opinions. The places marked in red is what I would like to shrink so there is less space between the text and next navigation button. Thanks in advance. I hope I explained my problem clear enough.

    I notice you're using Spry. Spry has been deprecated and will no longer be officially supported by Adobe. Read here: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l
    You may want to consider using a jQuery based menu. Lots of links here: http://www.freshdesignweb.com/jquery-menu.html
