Hi, new to the list and acrobat. I want to create a form with several combo boxes all basically with identical list items (like to have 15-25). Is there a way to do this easy w/o typing in every combo box. Can I link to table? I tried coping one box and pasting another, but first try it behaved the same as one. I need to make sure I did it correct. Appreciate any ideas.. thanks
combobox list items help

Yes I see they behave like one. Do I need the plugin database connectivity, I see that it is not loaded. I looked some, but not have found out how to load it. Was not sure that was the right direction to take.
Your script discription for adding list value on your website looks like it might work.

First, realize that form fields have names and all form fields with the same name are considered as the same field for many actions. So it is best to use unique names for form fields unless you want them treated in a similar manner.
Next, in programing and not just Acrobat, you can not just cut and paste code and assume the computer will adjust your code for your intended changes. You have to review the code and make changes to object names, field names, logical test values, function parameters etc to adjust your code for the very specific task you are trying to preform.
There are many tutorials, articles, and eSiminars on demand on this site to help you get started in programing Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer.
You can also access the Acrobat JavaScript API reference for free and no registration at the [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/?view=home]Acrobat Developer Center[/url].

Hi curlybat,
A series of training videos on using scripts in PDFs can be found at www.pdfscripting.com that cover all the basics of getting started scripting in Acrobat. It requires a membership fee.
On this site there are many ( I believe over 70 now) tutorials on scripting in the Learning Center- these cover a wide variety of scripting tasks in Acrobat, and all are free.
Hope this helps,
Dimitri

Hi, thank you both for the resources. Does not seem like it would be to complicated to import list items. I just have no clue where to start, looks like I have a good starting point.
thanks
