Hello! I am very new to Javascript and would like to know in Acrobat Pro if it is possible based on the selection in a drop down field, that another text field will populate specific text.
I am grateful for your assistance.
Thank you!
There are 2 ways to do this:
1) A custom validation script in the dropdown. In this case, the user can change the text in the text field that is populate.
2) A custom calculation script in the text field. In this case, the user can't change the text in the text field because it will always revert to the calculated value based on the dropdown selection.
#1 example:
if(event.value=="ABC"){this.getField("TheTextField").value=="The text to populate"}
#2 example:
if(this.getField("TheDropdownField").value=="ABC"){event.value="The text to populate"}
