Hello!

I have a fillable PDF started. I am working to have the result from a drop-down list (e.g., yes or no), display in another area of the pdf form (as is no changes). How do I go about that?

You can use 'custom calculation script' of text field:

event.value = this.getField("Dropdown field name").value;

For this type of operation I prefer to use a validation script on the dropdown.

this.getField("TargetField").value = event.value;

This is a much more targeted script. A calculation is triggered anytime any field on the form is changed. Every calculation makes the form slower.
