Why form is creating a "memory" drop-down box in the PDF Form

I have created a form for someone using Adobe Acrobat CS4. While this doesn't happen when I use it on my computer, or even my work computer, apparently one of the end users, as they enter data into the form, it remembers previous information she had entered and gives her like a "memory" drop down box. She doesn't want that. How can I format it so it doesn't do that? Thank you.

  • Creating a dependent drop down box in an interactive form?

    Hello -
    I'm pretty new to Acrobat and not fluent with JS (I'm a chemist), so please forgive me if this seems a silly question:
    I'd like to create a form wherein there are two drop down boxes and the choices seen in the second of the two are dependent upon the choice made in the first. An example of such might be a list of departments in the first field and a list of staff in the selected depertment in the second field.
    I'm using Acrobat ver 7.0 (Pro) with Designer, by the way.
    I've been able to do this in Excel through use of validation functions, but I'd like to get away from Excel if at all possible.
    Thanks very much in advance!
    Chris

    To keep the department/cities sample; i'll try to explain you how i did it in Designer:
    I created a "variable" bloc (at the bottom of the Hierarchy tab) called Cities
    An other one called Departments
    A last called CitiesFunctions
    In the Cities bloc, i declared an array with all cities.
    In the Department bloc, I declared an array by department. In each array, i have 2 items : the index of the first city of the department in the cities tab and the index of the last city of the department in the cities tab.
    On my form, I created a dropDownList called Department (populated with departments) and an other called cities initialized empty.
    On Department change event:
    I rase the cities field.
    I call my function getCitiesByDpt in my CitiesFunctions bloc with the department in parameter.
    In these function I call the array corresponding to the department in the Cities bloc and I populate my listBox cities by the results (tab of cities from parameter 1 to parameter 2 of my Department array).
    Carrefull : if a list has too much items, you should create a "manual list" composed of 1 textField, 1 button, 1 listBox (it's better for performance)
    After than, always by script, you can restrict you second list by the sequence of characters eventualy keyed in the field Cities.
    I hope i'm a little beat clear ! it's hard to explain in a forum (and sorry for my french english...:))

  • When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

    # Question
    When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

    Hello.
    I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
    I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

  • I was trying to make a purchase from Amazon & a return but FIREFOX would not let me open drop down boxes in the purchase & return areas. I was forced to use IE to accomplish the deed. Can you investigate the problem?

    Thanks for the welcome Karsten! I’ve checked the installer disks – which appear to have all the main pieces of software, but not iDVD. If you or anyone knows where it might be hidden that would be great. Thanks for all the other info too!
    Thanks Lennart – I don’t think my computer could support iLife ’05 as it is running Mac OSX 10.3.2 and I’ve just been looking at its system requirements which state it requires 10.3.4 minimum – if you know differently, please let me know. As an alternative I have considered getting iLife ’04, but your comment about iLife ’05 being the first version to support external drives worried me (“iDVD 5 is the first iDVD version that officially supports external burners“ does this mean there is an unofficial option for iLife ‘04? Perhaps a patch similar to the one mentioned by Karsten), does that mean iLife ’04 would not support an external Lacie DVD writer?
    What is the earliest version of Toast I’d be able to use (as a money saving option!)?
    Thank you both, and apoligies for my amateurish questions…

  • How do I create hyperlinks in drop-down box....  (see details)

    I'm creating a form that will be used as an employee performance review.  On page one of the form, I'd like to insert a drop-down box titled "JOB TITLE" and there will be approx 10 different job titles in the list that the VP can select from.  Depending on the job title that the VP selects, I'd like a hyperlink that takes him to a new page within the pdf document.
    For example, the VP is going to complete a performance review for a "General Mgr" on his/her team.  He selects "General Mgr" from the drop down list in the "Job Title" box, and when he does, a new page opens that has questions related to the job responsibilities of a "General Mgr".  If the VP had selected a different Job Title, such as "Area Mgr", then a different page would have opened up with questions related to the job of an Area Mgr, which would be different than a Gen Mgr.
    Can anyone assist me with this?

    Hi,

    And a very handy resource (and while it is for version 6 it is still very good because of the way it is laid out):http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/CalcScripts.pdf
    The help file also helps with syntax and LC Designer comes with templates/examples.
    Lastly, check out the Developer's Network on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/
    In the sample the script is in the exit event of the dropdown. You can view the script by selecting the dropdown, which is on the Master Page and viewing the script editor at the top of the workspace. If the script editor is not open, you can open it from the Windows menu. By default it is only one line high, so I would recommend dragging the bottom bar so that you see a good few lines. You can view different events in the script editor and set the language.
    Also if you look at the dropdown you can see in the Object > Field tab that I have set the values that are displayed in the dropdown and in the Object > Bindings I have not specified bound values, so I can use the display values in the script.
    In the hierarchy I have named each of the pages with a unique name (eg appendixAdmin), that is also used in the script.
    I hope that helps,
    Niall

  • I know I did not access a website any time recently, but it shows up in my drop down box in the address line, why?

    The drop down box on my address bar shows a website I know I have not gone to recently. Most recent access on this website was probably about 1 year ago. My settings for clearing browser history are set for 20 days, though! (I think, I'm not very literate at this stuff) Why did this happen? It is very important for me to have an explanation for how this could have happened.

    Maybe a addon? Have you tried safe mode to see if its a addon, test if those suggestions come in safe mode, see the article below.

  • The 'Third Party Connections' drop down box on the 'Source Database' step in the Migration Wizard is empty.

    Here are the environmental details:  
    SQLDeveloper 32-bit Version 3.2.20.09 (Build MAIN-09.87)
    Oracle Database:  12C single instance (no RAC)
    Oracle client:  12C 32 bit
    Windows 64 bit desktop
    I am attempting to migrate an MS Access application to Oracle.  I pick the ‘Migrate’ selection from the ‘Tools’ Menu SQL Developer.  This puts me into the Migration Wizard.  When I get to the ‘Source Database’ step of the migration wizard, the ‘Choose the Third Party database from which you are migrating’  drop-down box is not being populated with the current available connections. It is empty.  If I type a valid connection name into the box, SQL Developer takes it on this screen but does not keep it for the next screen/step.  It has no persistence.  I even tried to make sure that each connection was open/connected before beginning the migration process.
    Due to the fact that I am attempting to migrate an MSAccess application, I am mixing 32-bit and 64 bit software.  This may be the issue as to why the drop down is losing addressability.  I have not applied any patches to this version of SQL Developer.

    Hi,
    If you need easy way to migrate Microsoft Access to Oracle probably it is more reasonable to review some tools specially designed to this purpose. For example:
    Access to Oracle converter by Intelligent Converters
    Access to Oracle converter by SpectralCore
    Access to Oracle converter by Interface Computers
    Hope, this will help.
    Sincerely,
    Vlad

  • How do I turn-off that annoying drop-down box with the gold key that asks me if I want Firefox to save the password?

    You know what drop-down box I'm talking about. When I sign-in to an existing account, that box drops down, covering links I want to click on, asking me AGAIN if I want to save the password for 'this' [whatever site I'm on] site. NO, I DON'T! If I wanted to save the darn password, I would have clicked 'yes' about 1,000 sign-ins ago! Stop already with the asking me.! This 'gold key' feature just doesn't get it. It is a huge nusiance. Why isn't there a box to click that says "DON'T ASK ME AGAIN"?

  • I was trying to figure out how to stop my pinned apps from disappearing after I've shut-down my computer during storms. In the process of trying things I lost the Orange Firefox drop down box in the upper left corner. How do I get it back?

    Question 1 - How do I restore the Orange Firefox drop-down box that was originally at the top of the screen.
    Question 2 - How do I undo the last command I changed
    Question 3 - How do I prevent my pinned apps from disappearing. I have about 10 loaded and it's a pain to have to reload those several days a week. Seems to only happen if I shut down the computer.

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    *View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Right-click a toolbar).
    *Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    What do you mean with Question 2: ''How do I undo the last command I changed'' ?
    Which last command are you referring to?

  • Drop down boxes like the ones used for dates don't work and hav'nt work for quite a while. What's going on?

    Drop down boxes have not worked for the last few revisions of
    Firefox. I've tried eliminating all add ons etc. bit to no avail. It does
    not seem like this should be such a big problem to fix, since these
    objects used to work fine in the past. I really like Firefox otherwise
    and would hate to have to resort to another browser. The drop down box shown below does not work either, but that may be due to lack of content.

    Yes, I've disabled everything. Even changed Windows 7 Themes, but no luck.
    After sending this reply, it occurred to me that Actual Window Guard might be
    the problem. When I excluded the Firefox window from Actual Window Guard
    control the drop down boxes worked. Wish I would have thought of it sooner. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and tried to help. I really do appreciate your time and effort.

  • How to insert drop-down box into the already set-up table ?

    if i have a table already set up, and i do want to add the drop-down box into each column like in the excel. how would i do that ? this drop-down box would allows me to specifically select the data as shown on the screen.

    Hi Bondwaan,
    I am not sure wht you are asking but I suspect it has to do with a popup menu. If that is the case, a popup menu is a formatting choice.
    If you need more info, you will need to ask a more specific question.
