Gday,
I am creating a new form using Acrobat Pro DC (Version 2015.006.30119) and i want to select a name from a dropdown box i have created and have it pre-populate a text field to show their phone number so the user doesnt have to look it up or enter it manually.
Can someone please help me with this? Please note i do not speak code so if you can provide dumb down steps its much appreciated.
This requires using a script.
The easiest way to set it up is to add the phone number as the export value of each of the items in your drop-down.
If you do that the only thing you'll need is to enter the following code as the custom calculation script of the text field:
event.value = this.getField("Name").value;
I'm assuming above that the drop-down is called "Name".
You might also want to tick the option to commit the selected value of the drop-down immediately. You'll find that under its Properties, Options tab.
