Hello,

How can I make such combo box(drop down box), if user selects one item from a combo box and then one or more special fields appears? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

Thank you!

You can use something like this as the dropdown field's custom validation script:

if (event.value=="Item 1") {
    this.getField("Text1").display = display.visible;
    this.getField("Text2").display = display.visible;
} else {
    this.getField("Text1").display = display.hidden;
    this.getField("Text2").display = display.hidden;
}

Thank you, it was helpful.

Now I have another issue regarding the same dorpdown box.

Is it possible to make it like this:

1)if I select from one box "Item1" then another box "Text1" is visible BUT not fillable and with filled text and "Text2" is visible and fillable

2)if I select from one box "Item2", box "Text1" and "Text2" are invisible.

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

Thank you!

Try this :

if(event.value == "Item1"){

this.getField("Text1").display = display.visible;

this.getField("Text1").readonly = true;
this.getField("Text2").display = display.visible;

} else if(event.value == "Item2"){
this.getField("Text1").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("Text2").display = display.hidden;
}
