Drop Down and Text Box link

[GWhitley]

I need help with a pretty simple task. I have a multiple page PDF template that I am creating and on the first page I have a few drop down boxed. I want the input selected from those two drop downs to populate on the remaining pages of the pdf. I can't seem to figure out how to link the text boxes to the drop down.

Thanks!

Hi, GWhitley

If you are looking to have exact same data filled into those boxes, the simplest way to accomplish this would be to replace the text boxes with dropdowns of their own, and then give them the exact same "field name" as the original dropdown box. This will cause them to display the same data throughout the document. Please see the "Text" and "dropwdown" sections of this article, as well as the "managing fields" section: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowle ... ing-fields

The alternative of assigning a value to a "text" field based on the dropdown fields value would require some slightly complex JavaScript to be accomplished. In that case, you would need some JS knowledge, and can use the Adobe JS API reference for PDF interactions: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/ ... erence.pdf
