I am currently trying to create a form within PDF it will allow the user to select from the drop-down menu and based on the selection will auto populate a text field with a statement. I would also like the user to be able to edit the statement‘ Once it has been auto-populated.
My drop-down menu “Shipdec2”
My text field “statdec1”
I would be grateful if you can assist.
I am a beginner in adobe
You can use something like this code as the custom validation script of the drop-down field:
if (event.value == "Option 1") this.getField("statdec1").value = "Text for option 1";
else if (event.value == "Option 2") this.getField("statdec1").value = "Text for option 2";
else if (event.value == "Option 3") this.getField("statdec1").value = "Text for option 3";
etc.
Just make sure you tick the option to commit the selected value immediately (under the drop-down's Properties, Options tab), so the text field will update as soon as you make a selection.
