Question

Display Export Value of dropdown instead of Item

Hi 🙂

I am new to make pdf forms but see it usful for work. I did read an article here about getting export value shown in the dropdown and have used it in one of my forms. this is the code: event.value = event.target.getItemAt(event.target.currentValueIndices, true);

 

My issue is that on my work computer I am not allowed to use java scripts. I cant activate it at all. is it an solution to get this function without using javascript?

It's impossible without using a script. But why is JS forbidden on your computer? And are you aware there's a difference between JS in a browser and in Acrobat?

We have adobe accrobat reader at work.

 

The reason we are not allowed to use java script is security reasons.

Using JS in Acrobat Reader forms no real security risk, but that's your call...
