Dropdown-List adding multiple entrys at once

[magnetic_contributor5C95]

Hi,

is there a way to add multiple elements when creating a Dropdown-List?

I do have an excel sheet with street names and want to create a Dropdown-List with this data.

I maybe found a solution at the Internet but i am missing some Tabs in the properties:

(german options) Aktionen, Format, Validierung, Berechnung

Thank you.

Try the forum for Acrobat.

Does you use a Adobe Sign form?

[magnetic_contributor5C95]

yes, i use a Sign form. Ive added a new Dropdown-List but i am missing some Tabs in the properties.

Maybe someone has a solution for my problem to add more multiple entrys at once or even use an excel sheet (with street names) for adding to the Dropdown-List.

I know how to do it in a regular Acrobat form. Not sure if it will work in an Adobe Sign-enabled form, though.

I would recommend you only convert the file to this format after you finished creating it in Acrobat.

Not sure if i was right with sign form. Can u please explain how to add multiple entries in a regular Acrobar form please?! Thank you.

and there is still the problem with the missing tabs.

The tabs are missing because this is an Adobe Sign form. To revert it back to a normal file go to Tools - Prepare Form and then click on "More" at the right side of the window and then on "Revert to Acrobat Form".

Okay, thank you, this works; I am very new to all this.

Basically, you would use a script. Something like this:

this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems(["", "Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"]);

The first item in the array is the default value.

If you want to import the data from an external file you can use this (paid-for) tool I've developed:

Looks interesting but i cant purchase items from the Internet because this is for commercial use.
