Question

I have a drop down menu that is used multiple times in a form. When I copy and paste it, they are all connected. So when I select level 4, it puts level 4 in ALL the drop down menues that I copped and pasted

I am making a PDF a form and I have a drop down menu that is used multiple times. You have to chose 1-4. When I copy and paste it it connects ALL the drop down menus so when you chose a level, it puts that level in all the boxes. How do I allow the reader to chose any level and not have them connected

Give each field a unique name.

You could use the "Create Multiple Copies" command to generate fields with unique names, but then you'll need to move them to the correct positions, or you could use a script to rename the existing fields you have, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Rename Duplicate Fields to Unique Fields
