How to Show pages based on selection from a dropdown menu

Question

Hello, I am a beginner to Acrobat javascripting and I would love to find a way to show and hide pages at the end of my document based on the selection in my dropdown menu.

I have attached the dropdown box and the pages I would like to be visable when picking the first selection are numbered 54-56. Pages 54-92 would be invisible before making the selection.

Is this possible and if so, could someone help me with the script needed?

Thanks so much for the advice/help.

Best wishes,

Ian.

To show and hide pages you need to convert them to a Template object, hide them, and then spawn that object to make them visible. Then you would be able to delete them, even in Reader. All of this requires some scripting know-how, though.
