Hello, 

 

I am so sorry, but I have read through 100 of the responses of how to create a list box or drop-down box where I can select multiple options, and only those options are visible. I am not tech-savvy, but by god, there has to be a simple way to create one or the other.

 

Here is an example of what I need: a list, which I have inputted into the Options box properties:

Elvis

Bob

John

Paul

George

Ringo

 

From this list, all I want to be able to do is select one or more of the options.

Can anyone assist me, please?

This work allows you to populate a listbox with many entries with a single click instead of one by one.

 

Here's my links to both  my file and George Johnson's ComboBox Populator:

Is_rbls,

 

I know this is going to sound very ignorant of me, but after adding my list to the two populators, what do I do next? How do I add that to my PDF I created?

Copy the populated listbox  field from that Pdf  and paste that copy  into the other document that you're working on.

 

You can resize that field and make it smaller.

Use a list-box and tick the Multiple Selection box under the Options tab of its Properties. That's all there is to it:

I've tried that; however, my lists are 20+ long, so it doesn't show just the items I selected, and when I tab to the next field, it doesn't keep the ones I selected, only the default one?
