Interaktives PDF aus ID 2025 verliert Umbrüche

Ich will ein interaktives PDF aus Indesign (ID 2025) erzeugen. Die meisten Felder funktionieren, nur eines macht Sperenzen:

Ich habe es als Kombinationsfeld angelegt.
Das Ereignis ist "Bei Klick"
Die Aktion ist "Schaltflächen und Formulare ein-/ausblenden"
Die Aktion ist Druckbar, nicht schreibgeschützt, nicht erforderlich und die Elemente sind nicht sortiert.

Die Listenelemente habe ich zuerst in einem Textrahmen in 3 Zeilen mit hartem Umbruch eingegeben, dann diesen Gesamttext kopiert und als neues Listenelement eingefügt.

In Acrobat Pro sieht das gut aus, aber in Acrobat Reader verlieren die Listenelemente die Umbrüche.

Was kann ich tun?

Ich habe versucht, den 3-Zeiler als Tabelle zu formatieren, das geht nicht.
Ich habe statt einem harten ein weiches Return eingegeben, das ändert nichts.
Ich habe beim Export des PDF die Option "Struktur für Aktivierreihenfolge verwenden" ausprobiert, leider ohne Erfolg.

Mehr fällt mir grade nicht ein.

I don't believe you can do what you are looking for.

A you can either use hide/show to show the appropriate information based on the selection, or use JavaScript to populate a separate locked text field with the appropriate info.

Very nice, @BobLevine, I like Scripts. Unfortunately this one does not solve my issue.

I'll explain a little bit more precise:

I have a list of entries I want to offer to the form user. The entries look like this:

1st option:

1 first and last name
1 name@url.com
1 Mobile Phone 123/123123123

2nd option

2 first and last name
2 othername@url.com
2 Mobile Phone 456/456456456

and so on.

Now when entering 3-lines-of-text as ONE option, the Acrobat Pro version shows the provided options in 3 lines as shown above. But when I switch to the regular PDF reader from Adobe, the options get "mashed together" like so:

2 first and last name 2 othername@url.com 2 Mobile Phone 456/456456456

which is irritating. So I look for a solution where the line breaks will be output to the regular PDF reader (the line breaks being the crucial part of my request).

As far as I can remember, you need to enter those choices individually.

You think about splitting the one answer into 3 separate ones? Where the 2nd and 3rd are depending on the 1st? I'll check this, looks promising and will come back. Thank you

Are you trying to batch input the lines as three separate entries or as a single multi-line entry?

I don't believe there is an automated way to do that (other than with a script).

There was a script for this but I can't find it.
