Import spreadsheet into drop down menu?

We have a list in excel of over 200 items we want to add to a drop down menu field in form. How can this be accomplished?
Thank you.

Hi;
At this time you would have to copy and paste the individual items, there is no way to import data.
Thanks,
Josh

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.

Importing objects from excel into drop down menu

Hi!
I have tried to copy objects from excel while constructing a drop menu in forms central. Sadly, my 500+ objects appear as one choice instead of uniqe items.
Is it possible to import values from an excel column to be shown as single items in a drop down menu?
/Martin

Hej
I have the opportunity to choose Acrobat Forms as an alternative form for this survey.
Do you know if there is possible to get the 500+ into a list in a more elegant way than manual input?
Hope you have an "elegant" solution for me even if the Forum is not all correct for this question.

How do I allow users to enter text into drop down menu

I have created a form with a drop down menu but I want users to be able to enter thier own text into the field if they do not see the option they want.

It sounds like you're creating the form in FormsCentral. This isn't an option in FormsCentral, but if you save the form as PDF you can edit the field in Acrobat and you'll see the option that Bernd mentioned. In order to edit the form in Acrobat, you have to removed the usage rights by opening the PDF in Acrobat and selecting: File > Save A Copy
and then open the copy.

What is the URL for Firefox start page, need to put it into drop down menu.

unable to locate the url address for Mozilla Firefox Start Page to add to my drop down menu of homepage choices, I also called customer service 2x and hung up on me both times.
I am attempting to make Firefox my home page as well as default browser, the browser was easy but finding the https www address is not. please advise. I was using Chrome as browser but am in the process of deleting all previous due to malware.

hello, the default homepage in firefox is '''about:home'''.
since you have one adrware addon present in firefox as well, i'd recommend to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

Importing Value/Text into drop down menu Binding tab

I did this before and I can't for the life of me remember how I did it. I need to be able to replace the text in the Value and Text areas (as shown below) with updated text. I don't think I did it using Data binding. Seems like I was able to use either an .xml or .csv file and copy and paste it and I got the result I needed.
I am splitting the Value among multiple fields. I know this was not entered manually as there are about 5000 entries. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Gary

If the Clip board has copied one column(ex: excel sheet) it will copy all the rows as values "Text" of the drop down ONLY.
If the Clip board has copied 2 columns the first column goes in to "Text" and the second column goes into"Value". By default the it will be checked the "Specify item values" check box too.
All you need here is:
1.format text and values in to 2 separate columns to populate the dropdown. (can use excel features to generate the spreadsheet. This step output should be in 2 columns only to go in to text and values of DD).
2. place a dropdown field (no properties changes required on any TAB(ex: binding))
3. copy the 2 columns from the spreadsheet and paste it using the "paste from clipboard" under "Field" tab
4. now check the binding tab, should be there both values and text for all the entries provided by spread sheet.
Hope this helps, If i understand incorrectly please ignore this.

I am trying to import bookmarks from google account. Your drop down menu does not have the "import" option. How can I do this?

Your instructions for importing bookmarks/favorites are to click the top left Firefox button and select "import" to start the process. I don't have that option, there is not "import" in the drop down menu. How can I import bookmarks into Firefox?

You will still find it in the File menu in the Firefox 5 version that you are using. 
If Firefox 7 is has been moved to the Bookmarks Manager.
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
If you managed the bookmarks via the Google toolbar on the Google server then see:
* http://www.google.com/bookmarks

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
iselect the customer?

Hi bazza,
We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
Here is the formula in G2
=CONCATENATE(B2&"
",C2&"
",D2&"
",E2)
It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

Can I click on "bookmarks" and have the drop down menu display ONLY the file imported from Safari?

I am trying to achieve a one click drop down menu without side selection for "Safari". Possibly I need to drag bookmarks and folders from the "Safari" folder into the "unsupported " folder, but when I tried this it doubled everything I drug in.

I did find that I could move bookmarks and folders out of the "imported from Safari" folder onto the "unsorted bookmarks" folder. Removed the Safari folder and made sure the "bookmarks menu" was empty, and then closed show all bookmarks. Hoping that when I opened Bookmarks from the very top line of Apple menu items, the only list that would pop down would be the one that I just constructed in "unsorted bookmarks". But alas, what pops down is no visible bookmarks. You have to slide down to "unsorted" which pops open a window offset to the right with what I really want to see, the list of bookmarks that I assembled in Unsorted.

Is there a way to import a list of choices for a drop down menu?

I am on a really tight deadline. I need to enter 191 locations into a drop down menu in a survey. Can anyone help? THANK YOU!!

Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to import a list of choices; it has to be entered manually.

Reading from HTML Drop-Down Menu into JSP

Hi folks. I'm am just delving into JSP, and I have a very basic question. I've been looking around the internet for a good tutorial on how to read HTML form input data into my JSP page. I really haven't found anything, and was hoping that you could provide me with some good resources. I want to have just a basic HTML drop-down menu with a SQL query executed based on the menu selection. The selection from the drop-down menu should go into the SQL query where "Shawnee" currently is. Here is my JSP code:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252" import="java.sql.*"%>
<%
try
 Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
 Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://khrcs4:1433/Mail_List;user=xxxx;password=xxxx");
 System.out.println("success");
 Statement st = con.createStatement();
 ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select * from contacts where class like '%First Time Home Buyer Lenders%' and served like '%Shawnee%' order by company");
 while(rs.next())
 out.println(rs.getString(3)+" "); //company
 out.println(rs.getString(12)+" "); //address
 //out.println(rs.getString(13)+" "); //address2
 out.println(rs.getString(8)+", "+rs.getString(9)+" "+rs.getString(14)+" "); //city, state zip
 out.println(rs.getString(7)+" "); //phone
catch (Exception ex)
 ex.printStackTrace();
%>

ArrayList recList = new ArrayList();
while(rs.next())
 recList.add(rs.getString(3));
put the recList in the session.
session.setAttribute("allrecords",recList);
Then in your jsp, get the recList from the session and loop it,
ArrayList recList = (ArrayList)session.getAttribute("allrecords");
for (var i=0; i < recList.size();++i){
 addOption(document.getElementById("drop-down box name"), valarray, valarray[i]);
function addOption(selectbox,text,value)
 var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
 optn.text = trim(text);
 optn.value = trim(value);
 selectbox.options.add(optn);

I cannot import bookmarks because I don't have the "File Import" command in my drop down menu.

To import bookmarks from another application, you must use the drop down menu command "File>Import". I don't have that command in my menu in Firefox.

The Import function has been moved to ''Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks'' (opens the Library window), then in the Library window ''Import and Backup > Import Data from Another Browser''

When in yahoo mail I can't move mail into the drop down folders below HTheeninyaabout the 9th folder I the drop down menu.

When in yahoo mail I can't move my read mail into the drop down folders below about the 9th folder in the drop down menu. What am I doing wrong?

To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide? Please help :(

How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide? Please help
I need to retain all the formula's and the sheets these formulas are linked from.

Have you considered switching out of Keynote and over to your spreadsheet program when you get to this slide? If you launch the speadsheet program before Keynote you can switch using Command-Tab. You can then switch back into Keynote when you are done.
I realize that this is not what you were looking for but I don't think it is possible to do exactly what you want.
