Highlight Text Lines Based on Dropdown Selection

[Bayou_Buck]

Hello, I've search to no avail. I want to highlight certain text lines on a pdf form if the user selects a particular option from a dropdown list on the form. The text I want to highlight is not text fields but just regular text in the document. Thanks!

Will this work for multiple fields same drop down? to clarify:

I will need to update the java console for each field using the following:

selectedAnnots[0].hidden = true;
selectedAnnots[0].name = "HG2";

selectedAnnots[0].hidden = false;

selectedAnnots[0].hidden = true;
selectedAnnots[0].name = "HG3";

selectedAnnots[0].hidden = false;

 etc...

Then in the dropdown properties add the following to the existing custom valitation script:

var ann = this.getAnnot(0, "HG2");

if (ann) ann.hidden = (event.value!="Model Maintenance");

var ann = this.getAnnot(0, "HG3");

if (ann) ann.hidden = (event.value!="Model Maintenance");

Correct?

The first code has to be done in steps:

- Select the first comment.

- Run the code from the Console to set its name to "HG1".

- Select the second comment.

- Run the code from the Console to set its name to "HG2".

- etc.

Thank you. I have the code working in the console to make the text highlight visiable and hidden. However, it doesnt work with the drop down.
