PDF form drop-down menu

Is it possible to have a drop down menu in a PDF form that when one of the options is selected automatically greys out and locks another section of the form?
Cheers

Set these values as the export values of each of the choices in the
dropdown and then you could simply use it in the built-in Product option
under the Calculate tab of the total field.

FormCentral PDF export: Drop-Down Menu does not print when no choice is made

FormCentral PDF export: Drop-Down Menu does not print when no choice is made
I want to be able to print a blank form for the older clients who cannot use a computer. Form has a few drop-down menus and they only appear on the print out if an option is selected. The form was created on FormCentral. Can anybody help?
Sorry if i'm a noob, not much experience in creating PDF forms yet.
Thanks for your help,
Yon

Hi Perry
I am using the trial version of Adobe Acrobat and am using the provided FormCentral software to create the form. I find it very limited, but easier to learn. I am creating a financial needs analyser.
The section of the drop down menu is a selection from 1-5 (rating of importance for financial goals). I want to print out the questions and the empty boxes for people to fill them in by hand (e.g write 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5). When I leave a blank choice, no box is printed out. I write the questions in formatted text and leave the text/caption for the drop-down as blank, as it is difficult to set the margins correctly so various elements align (I pretty much have to estimate).
As said before, I may have been missing a massive part of the software, but I haven't used any training - just going by instinct so far.
Do you know if I can do anything about it?
Thanks,
Yon

How do i import excel data base into pdf form drop down field

Hi,
I have a table of about 2500 rows and three columns that i would like to import into a drop down window on a PDF form to be self populated when item selected rather than entering the data. How can this be done?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
I did not know only two entries for each option item is it. I have manually entered data in the drop down an list boxes. With 2500 lines of data I was hoping there was an easier way other than manually entering the data.
I have no knowledge of Java Scripting.....
I was just wondering if there was a way from an Excel spreadsheet to import that data into a PDF form to be selectable to populate PDF fields in a form. It doesn't sound like it.
Thanks......

PHP Sticky form drop down menu

I need to make this "sticky" (if a user makes a choice and the form is submitted then make the form remember the choice) and cannot figure out how to code it.
<select name="merchantCategoryID" id="merchantCategoryID" >
               <option value="">Please choose a category</option>
                <?php
               do {
                ?>
                <option value="<?php echo $row_getStoreCategories['merchantCategoryID']?>"
                <?php
                         if ($row_getStoreCategories['merchantCategoryID']==$row_getMerchant['merchantCategoryID']) {
                              echo "selected=\"selected\"";
                         } ?>>
                         <?php echo $row_getStoreCategories['Category']?></option>
                         <?php
                         } while ($row_getStoreCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($getStoreCategories));
                           $rows = mysql_num_rows($getStoreCategories);
                           if($rows > 0) {
                               mysql_data_seek($getStoreCategories, 0);
                                $row_getStoreCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($getStoreCategories);                        }
?>
</select>

You want to display the value selected if the form contains errors, so you just need to check if $_POST['merchantCategoryID'] has been set, and use it.
<select name="merchantCategoryID" id="merchantCategoryID">
   <option value="">Please choose a category</option>
   <?php
   do {
   ?>
   <option value="<?php echo $row_getStoreCategories['merchantCategoryID'];
      if (isset($_POST['merchantCategoryID']) &&
      $_POST['merchantCategoryID'] == $row_getStoreCategories['merchantCategoryID']) {
         echo 'selected="selected"';
      }?>"><?php echo $row_getStoreCategories['Category']?></option>
   <?php } while ($row_getStoreCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($getStoreCategories));

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.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

Form2mail how do I set up the form to sent to a recipient selected from a drop-down menu?

I am trying to configure dreamweaver form2mail to be able to send the information submitted to individual employees. I would like the form to be set up where as you choose the recipient form a drop down menu and the only that recipient would receive the information collected on the form. I can't seem to find any information on this. I can only find info on sending to multiple recipients at the same time. I only want the recipient that is selected to receive the form information.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a low cost or FREE form to mail system.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Jim, That is exactly what I need. I'm using Form2Mail the Dreamweaver extension for Adobe Dreamweaver. It only gives me the option to send to one email address or cc to multiple not individual sends.
Here is the html
<form action="/HDWForm2Mail/Form2Mail.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1" accept-charset="iso-8859-1">

        </p>
        <table width="429">
          <tr>
            <td><strong>Recipient:</strong></td>

                <option value="[email protected]">Mr. Person 3</option>
              </select></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>

            <td><label for="email"></label>

Acrobat Forms - Make fillable text box appear after box checked or drop down menu item selected

I have been asked to build an approvals form for my workplace however the approval processes vary considerably depending on the subject. I have been asked to create a list of topics in the form of check boxes or a drop down menu which will then populate a list of text boxes with differing approval authorities and corresponding spaces for signatures. i.e. if 'Topic 1' is selected a list of names and signature spaces will appear, however if 'Topic 2' is selected a different list of names and signature spaces will appear instead.
In order to achieve this I think I only need to find out how to link check boxes or drop down menu items to the appearance of different text boxes.
I should also add that I am a beginner with this stuff.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Remove the red coloured part
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
left: auto;
top:0;
or start again with the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css and follow the rules as in http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one.
Either way will get you back on track.
Good luck.
Ben

Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

Email form script with custom text field and drop-down menu?

Hey, I'm building a website in iWeb - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19707357/Website/craftpackage.html
And I was looking for a script that could possibly send an email to me with the info a user chooses from/puts in 1. dropdown menu 2. text field 3. another text field. I'd be awesome if the fields could have a custom background or a transparent background.The drop-down menu could have any background, but it would be awesome if it could be made with custom images !

Basic question.
What have you yourself done to find out?
Nothing?
Start here :
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+mail+form
http://www.google.com/search?q=dropdown+menu+with+transparent+background
Unfortunately, it has no dropdown menu :
http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/01/entry_301.html
Btw, dropdown menus in forms at select menus. These are not the same.
http://www.google.com/search?q=select+menu+form
http://http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp
So start practicing and once everything works the way it should, display it in a html snippet.

Form popping up certain information once selection is chosen in drop down menu.

Is if possible that I could have a drop down menu and once a selection is made it displays a "set information section" with pictures and logo's etc. pop's up according to that selection?

Hi,
Yes it is possible. you would put the respective groupings of pictures and logos in separate subforms. The subforms can be stacked one above the other and their presence set to hidden.
Then in the exit event of the dropdown you would have either an if statement or a switch statement to change the presence:
if (this.rawValue == "My Company")
     myCompanyLogo.presence = "visible";
     yourCompanyLogo.presence = "hidden";
else if (this.rawValue == "Your Company")
     myCompanyLogo.presence = "hidden";
     yourCompanyLogo.presence = "visible";
else
     myCompanyLogo.presence = "hidden";
     yourCompanyLogo.presence = "hidden";
Basically you are setting up white space in the form and then showing the appropriate logo/picture. Here is an example of dropdowns doing different things: https://acrobat.com/#d=jD3k1sL7PGcTo6CHHTiEOA
There is another way. You can have the logos and pictures in the form as 'image' objects that are hidden and then have an 'imagefield' object in the white space. Then the dropdown script would set the rawValue of the 'imagefield' to match the appropriate hidden 'image' object. An example is here: https://acrobat.com/#d=BI-C*vM-cryysNXA9Hpt5A
Hope that helps,
