Hi there! I have some True or False questions added to my PDF using the field Dropdown1 (Dropdown2, etc.). I need a way to validate if their answer is correct. How can I accomplish this?

Try something like this in a button as 'Mouse UP' action (Run a JavaScript):

var correct = 0;
for( var i=1; i<=5; i++){
 var drop = this.getField("Dropdown"+i).valueAsString;
 if(i==1 || i==3 || i==5){
  if(drop === "True")
   correct++;}
 else if(i==2 || i==4){
  if(drop === "False")
   correct++;}}

app.alert("User have "+correct+"/5 answers correct.",3 );

You could use script in a button when clicked it would show alert with field names (or questions) which have correct answer, or it can also list field names (or questions) that are not correct.

What script would I use in the button? For example, Dropdown1, Drowdown3, and Dropdown 5 are True answers and the other two are false. How can I pull the data to say the user got 4/5 correct, etc.? Sorry, I'm new to this.
