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.
Martin

  • 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.

    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.

  • Importing Data from Excel into Primavera

    Hello:
    I'm trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet of a given set of columns (i.e. template) into Primavera. I wish to copy the data from Excel into a new activity at the Activity Level and have set up the template already at the Activity Level.
    It is easy to copy and paste data from Primavera into Excel, but it is not straight forward to copy Excel data into Primavera. I believe you have to import the data, but I do not know how to. Is there documentation somewhere that I can access, or is there someone who knows that can help?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can control the activities that are exported with the user of a filter in the template options.
    Go to Modify template options Add a new template or modify the existing
    template. The template contains options for exchanging data with
    Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications. Click Modify to
    customize the selected template
    Select a Subject Area in the Modify Template dialog box to modify its
    options. In the Columns tab, select the fields to export. The available
    options are based on the selected subject area.
    In the Modify Template dialog box, click the Filter tab to select the
    activities you want to export for the selected subject area. If using more
    than one filter, choose to show activities that meet all selection criteria in
    each filter, or to show activities that must meet only one selection criteria
    in each filter. Select the filter(s) to use for the export file. If necessary,
    click Modify to edit the selected user-defined filter. The fields available for
    filtering are based on the selected subject area.
    Have a great day,
    Saryn

  • 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.

  • I cannot open more than 1 Tab per window. The "+" does not work as well as the item "New Tab" from the File drop-down menu. What shall I do ?

    I have just removed FireFox and reinstalled it again on my Mac Book PRO.
    When I open FIreFox I canNOT open more than 1 TAB.
    I click on the "+"on the top line of the window. It should open another TAB but id does NOT.
    I click on the File item in the top menu bar. A drop-down menu pops up. I click on "New Tab" and nothing happens.
    How can I get more than 1 Tab on the same window ?
    This feature works with Safari !
    Thank you so much.
    Best regards

    We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
    So if you have such a toolbar then start with disabling it.

  • 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.

  • Import Data From Excel Into PDF

    I have made a PDF in Acrobat 9 that has form fields in it, such as Last Name, First Name, Social Security Number, Address, Birth Date, Email, etc.  I want to import data from an Excel Spreadsheet into these form fields.  I have Excel 2010 and created an .XML file that includes this information.  I went back to my PDF file and clicked on Forms, Manage Form Data, Import Data, browsed and selected my .XML file and nothing happens.  I am at a loss and not sure what or where to go from here.  Any input would be very helpful at this point.
    Thank you in advance.

    The XML structure used by Acrobat is not the same as used by Excel.
    You can try exporting your spreadsheet as a CSV file and then import it
    that file in Acrobat. If the field names match the column names, it should
    work.

  • How to import timestamps from excel into labview

    hello everyone, how to import timestamps from a column in excel into labview?
    I am bugged with this problem for long now... can anyone help please?
    Now on LabVIEW 10.0 on Win7

    LV and Excel use a different reference time (LV was 1.1.1904?). You need to convert between both references. I don't remember the details how I did it and I'm away from my code base.

  • Importing Keywords from Excel into Lightroom (XMP)

    My current photo log is in Excel. I'm thinking of moving to Lightroom. Does anyone know if there would be a programmatic way to import keywords from an Excel file, and avoid having to manually apply keywords to each imported image? The data in my Excel file provides a perfect (nearly perfect?) correspondence between keyword and image file name. I know next to nothing about XMP, but I could get some help if I knew this was possible. Thanks!

    Garry, try this: Take one image in LR, apply some metadata and use "Metadata > XMP > Export XMP Metadata to File". Examine this xmp file to see what it has to look like.

  • Import .txt (from Excel) into Address book not happening

    I am attempting to import a .txt file (exported from an Excel file) containing 5000 contacts with email and phone details. In the Import dialogue I can map the columns to the Address Book properties. When I press OK the button stays blue (highlighted) for a few seconds but no import occurs. Not even the card being previewed.
    What am I missing here? (Bit urgent too)

    I had the same problem. I saved as tab-delimited in excel, closed it but upon import, address book would hang (spinning wheel or no response). So, I reopened the .txt file in Numbers instead, got rid of any strange lines, saved again as .txt. Then, I imported it into Address book and it was fine.
    To see whether it had to do with Numbers or Excel, I reopened the .txt file in Excel also, did the editing out of strange lines/cells again, and imported into address book again without problems.
    Seems like a really dumb hack, but it worked for me. I had 62 entries (address book always stalled at 5).
