Combo Box link

A combo box or list can certainly be made to work using JavaScript for the "On blur" action to determine where to go based on the export value of the combo box. You can set the "Option" to the caption for each chapter and the export value to zero based page number (page 1 = 0) for the chapter. Your "On Blur" JavaScript action is then "this.pageNum = event.value;".

If all of your users have version 6 or above of Acrobat or Reader, you can use the "app.popUpMenuEx()" method

unfortunately I have no idea what you just told me to do, as I am very new to this. If it is possible to get a step by step that would be extremely helpful. also, everyone is using at least adobe acrobat 7 so if the other method is either easier or better please do tell.

Thanks

You have a combo box field, highlight and right mouse click and select "properties".
Click the "Options" tag and enter the following:
Option Export Comment
nothing no selection made
Chapter 1 number displayed page number for chapter 1 less 1
Chapter 2 number displayed page number for chapter 2 less 1

Move the cursor up to the blank line, the default dispaly

Select the "Actions" tab anc click on the "On Blur" in the "When this happens:".
Click on the "Add" button.
Select "JavaScript" for the type option.
Click "Edit"
Enter the following code:

if (event.value != "") {
this.pageNum = Number(event.value);
}

Click as needed to close the field properties window.
Now the test the combo box.
