Creating Autofill into my PDF

[Gapslaya]

Good afternoon and thank you for trying to help me. I have created a PDF with a drop down menu area that I would like to have a few other portions auto-fill in certain numbers but I cannot get it to work. I have attached a picture of the area I am trying to effect to hopefully help out since I couldn't attach the whole document. Here is the fields and what I would like them to do:

Dropdown Field named "AV Tail Number" has four possible choices; 3289,3293,3294,3295 and when you select one I would like the following areas to auto-populate it's correlating information; "Mini-T Up", "Mini-T Down", "Mini-C Up", "UHF", and "Dry Weight". For example sake here is what I would like it to do:

When you click the dropdown menu named "AV Tail Number" and select "3289" I want the following values to populate in each one of the text fields; "Mini-T Up" = 123.1, "Mini-T Down" = 456.1, "Mini-C Up" = 789.1, "UHF" = 159.22, and "Dry Weight" =654.12.

And different values for each of the other 3 selections available under the dropdown menu. Thank you so much for any and all help!

This will require a custom-made script. These tutorials explain the basics of how to write such a script:

If you're interested, though, I've developed a (paid-for) tool that will allow you to set it up easily and without having to write any code.

You'll just need to create a simple spreadsheet with all of the data, and the tool will take care of the rest.
