Auto Fill Field in a form

Apr 19, 2012 11:27 AM

Categories: Windows Tags: #auto #forms #combo_box;textbox;populate_form_textbox_with_combo_box_selection

I'm trying to create a field in a form that auto populates when a selection is made from a previous combo box I've set up. I am using Adobe Pro and have Adobe Life Cycle, I've read many posts and I can't seem to get anything to work.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You need to provide more details. What type of field do you want to autopopulate? What sort of values will the combo box display?

    I am having a similar issue. I am trying to give a box that is checked as a value of 1, and with in a section give a score to the amount of boxes that are checked.

    OK sorry,

     

    I want to autopopulate a numerical field and the values in the combo box are just simple lines of text. I will attach a picture which shows what I want to do. I just want to be able to select a product and have it auto fill the max VOC

    Hi Jamie,

     

    Here is a tutorial from the Acrobat User Community web site's Learning Center on how to do that for both AcroForms and LiveCycle PDF forms-

    Thank you, I read through this and it seems to be much more complicated that what I'm trying to do. I will try and let you know.
