Hi! I don't have any experience with script,  I need to create a custom script in my Adobe Acrobat form.

 

I have created a dropdown list with insurance names.+ I have created a text field for each of them.  In want in order for the form to be able to automatically associated text fields, they should be visible on the form when a selection is made from the drop-down list, while all others will be hidden.

 

I need help, thanks in advance.

    The basic code is something like this (as the drop-down field's custom Validation script):

     

    if (event.value=="Company1") {
	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;
	this.resetForm(["Text1", "Text2"]);
}

if (event.value=="Company2") {
	this.getField("Text3").display = display.visible;
	this.getField("Text4").display = display.visible;
} else {
	this.getField("Text3").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("Text4").display = display.hidden;
	this.resetForm(["Text3", "Text4"]);
}
