How did you set it up? Did you use a script? If so, post the code you used.

[#4]

no, i just went through properties and used actions and put each field individually that i wanted hidden.. figuring if u uncheck the box they would reappear, which doesnt happen

If you want it to be conditional you have to use a script.

See: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/show_hide_fields

okay ill try figure this out, i have no experience with this stuff

[#7]

if (event.target.value != "Off") {
// box is checked
this.getField("var1").display = display.visible ;
this.getField("var2").display = display.visible ;
} else {
// box is unchecked
this.getField("var1").display = display.hidden ;
this.getField("var2").display = display.hidden ;
}

found this one, it works.. thanks!

[#8]

followup, the script works.. just changed the hidden/visible for if its checked or not.. but is there a way i can just make a dropdown choice that is on the form automatically check the box?

[#9]

You can add a validation script on the dropdown menu:

In the below example the choices in the dropdown are  'y' , 'n', '  ' or anything other than that. And adjusts the value of field f. but can be used for anything you'd like.

var f = this.getField("texterino")

if (event.value=="y") {

    f.value = 'y'

}else if (event.value=="n")  {

    f.value = 'n'

}else if (event.value==" ")  {

    f.value = '   '

} else { f.value = 'else' 

}

Hope this helps!
