Is it possible to dynamically insert text from one field into another field selection

[EdwardFranklin]

I am using Acrobat XI Pro and not Live Cycle

The goal would be to take an entry from a text field [Name] and drop it into the middle of some text that is generated by one of multiple selections from a pull down selector. A huge bonus to to actually generate formatted text, multiple lines, specific font and size and flush left.

Textfield #1: [Name]

List Selector or Pulldown List #2  with these selection options

a) Would like [Name] to join

b) Invite [Name] in the future

c) Exclude [Name] from list

Were are creating a printable form from the above inputs so formatting is critical.

Thanks!

Yes, it's certainly possible. If you use a multiline text field that set to allow rich text formatting, you can have your bonus. Read up on Spans in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation for more info.

George, thank you for the speedy and thoughtful reply. Just to be clear, I would be able to make a selection from a pulldown and it could then populate a multiline, RTF formatted field with a dynamically inserted value from another field (text field) with that selected text from the Pulldown?

Sound like Javascript to the rescue if yes!

Yes, you can set the rich text field value to anything you want, formatted as you like. Post again of you get stuck.
