Newby! How to Auto-select Drop Down Menu -Based on Another Drop Down Menu's selection

[chrisc24031039]

Hello, I am currently creating a PDF fill-in form.

I would like the user to select an option from Drop down menu #1 and another drop down menu (#2) auto-selects what I direct it to. Is this possible?

Please provide good details. I am new to adobe.

Thanks!

Your saying that the tutorial will work for auto populating a drop down menu box, based on what was selected on another drop down menu box?

Do you want to populate it with multiple items? If so, you can use this tool I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Create Dependent Dropdowns

That tutorial covers changing a field value, and drop downs are fields, based on the selection in a dropdown. This is what you asked about. But if what you meant was that you wanted to change items in the dropdown, then...

This tutorial covers changing the list items of a dropdown, based on the selection in another dropdown.
