I want to have a popup window comes up when user opens the pdf file. One this popup window, I want to let user choose a value from a dropdown list. Based on the value user chose, I will apply different edits on the filed of the form. Anyone knows how to create this popup with the dropdown?

THanks!

With a doucment level function one can use the either the 'app.popupMenu()' method, [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/popup-menus-acrobat]Popup menus for Acrobat[/url] by Thom Parker, or the 'app.dialogExec()' menthod, [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/popup_windows_part5]Custom Dialog Boxes: Part 5 of 5 on Popup Windows[/url] by Thom Parker. More information in in the [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.php]Acrobar JavaScript Documentation].
