I have a Yes/No drop down within my PDF. I have this same Y/N response about 25 times in my document. I don't want to recreate this every time. However when I copy the first drop down, they all seem to be linked. When a person responds to any of the drops downs, the others all mirror this same response. How can I copy and unlink them?

Change the names of the dropdowns.

Hi!!

I am in a similar situation however I have already renamed each drop down. In fact, it was working successfully and now seemingly out of nowhere they are all linked again:

- when I make a selection on the first drop down it applies to all drop downs

- I am unable to make selections on any drop downs other than the first

**Also, I am using a mac and I feel like I remember reading somewhere that there can be glitches when using acrobat on a mac

Thanks for any help 🙂
