Adobe Acrobat DC -- Have seven columns to my form. Vendor name, 3 different Yes/No dropdown boxes, labor, material, total. I need a script so if there is anything other than "yes" in the Dropdown boxes - the vendor cannot add labor or material costs. Is this possible and if so, can someone write the script or give me a simple site that will help me? Appreciate the help.

Yes, of course this is possible with a script. But we cannot simply give you a script that will work for your form, because the exact script depends on the details. We can however provide you with a general method, or script outline, that you can customize to the form. Do you know anything about programming and/or JavaScript? Do you want to learn? If not, you may want to consider hiering a programmer.

Here's a web site where you can learn about scripting in Acrobat. There are some free videos you should watch to get started.
