Hello,

I'm working with InDesign on an interactive PDF. I'm trying to accomplish selecting an item from a dropdown box and having other info appear in another field. For example choosing a employee's name from a dropdown and having his/her employee number appear in another field. Is this possible with InDesign? if so can you please help.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Dustin

It can be done with Javascripting in Acrobat proper. https://forums.adobe.com/message/9031420#9031420 But not with a combo box starting InDesign.

It can be done in InDesign by choosing employee names but not in a combo box. Just ordinary show/hide button commands.
