Thank you this has helped a lot. I do have a question - I have a Dropdown with a dependent text box that will fill based on the selection. If I have a Dropbox name that will not have a dependent answer in the text, how do I make is show blank? Right now it will just show what was previously selected.
Do you need an option for every source option in order for it to work? My Target Dropdown remains blank and when I click on it I hear that error chime.
This is what I have so far: var f = this.getField("Industry"); switch (event.value){ case "Agriculture": f.setItems(["Animals & Livestock", "Crops", "Forestry"]); break; default: f.setItems(["-None-"]); }
What if i want to populate one "target dropdown" with two different "source dropdown" so I get combined data. For example I choose source 1 to populate: trim and I use source 2 to populate: bushes. Then my target dropdown reads trim / bushes.
Hello there, i understand, but this task won't be easy. You will need to create a change event function to update the target dropdown. If you're looking to hire someone to develop a custom script, feel free to contact me at sarservices7987(at)gmail(.)com
Do you have any tutorial on cascading three dropdown box in pdf? I can't make it work. I have tried if else if and else, I tried the switch and nothing works. I have three dropdown which is Facility, Floor, and Area. Please help!!!
@@sarservices Hi there, I tried and it didn't work. Would you happen to have any other suggestions? I want to have the facilities' names, and some of the facilities have a different floor and correspond to that floor, I want to show all the locations on that floor.
I keep getting "Syntax error: missing ; before statement" line 2 Var f = this.getField("Repeater") ; switch(event.value) { case "NORTH UMPQUA": f.setItems(["Fairview", "Red Butte", "Chilcoot"]); break; case "DIAMOND LAKE": f.setItems(["Pig Iron", "Cinnamon", "Doehead"]); break; case "TILLER": f.setItems(["Pickett", "Cedar Spring", "Acker"]); break; Case "-Select-" f.clearItems();}
The Javascript condition works well in Acrobat, but as soon as I open my file as a PDF outside of Acrobat, the condition tracking doesn't work anymore... is that normal?
I have a "SyntaxError: Missing: after case lable 6: in line 7", and the problem is with "break;". similar to your video ua-cam.com/video/CP2lUhyf2rc/v-deo.html, at minute 6:13 How do I solve it? my software is adobe acrobat pro

1:47 If you want to make empty text box, then simply add a blank space like this ("") or skip that case item in your script.

This is what I have so far:
var f = this.getField("Industry");
switch (event.value){
case "Agriculture":
f.setItems(["Animals & Livestock", "Crops", "Forestry"]);
break;
default:
f.setItems(["-None-"]);
}
Your Adobe JavaScript code looks correct. Make sure the field and case names are spelled correctly in the code, as JavaScript is case-sensitive.

You can use this exact same script in the second dropdown. Just change the data.

Yes, JavaScript is not supported in all PDF viewers.
@@sarservices Thank you for answering. Do you have a solution for that?
@@jerrywil7012 First i have to check the script that you're using and then i can able to give you alternative way/code.
I am getting an illegal character at line 2 and not sure how to resolve
I don't have your script in front of me, so I can't help much. However, ensure that there are no typos, as JavaScript is case sensitive.

Read Error. Add colon ":" in item case
@@sarservices Thank you
mine isnt working
please see my script.
var f = this.getField("BCA1");
switch (event.value){
case "Lighting":
f.setItems(["BCA2002 PartJ7 AS3000-2018.AS1680.0-2009"]);
break;
case "Electrical Services":
f.setItems(["BCA2022 ClauseF6D5.PartJ7 AS3000-2018.AS1680.0-2009"]);

break;
default:
f.setitems([""]);
}
Hello there, Your script is mostly correct but one issue, Changed f.setitems([""]); to f.setItems([""]); (in Default block)
@sarservices thank you ,

Working with "Electrical Services", wont change when i select the other 2 services "Lighting " & Emergency Lighting"
