I am in the process of designing our employment application with Acrobat Pro 9. One of the things I am looking for suggestions on is how to design our certification area. A teacher would need to indicate which areas they are certified in. The average teacher may have an endorsement in 1-3 areas. However, There are 24 different areas they can be certified in and some of the 24 different areas have sub areas which could number from 1 to 17 sub areas. Here is an example:
__ BX Language Arts
__ BA English
__ BC Journalism
Social Studies
__ CE Psychology
__ CF Sociology
__ CH Anthropology
In our original application I made this area with a drop down menu and with the ability to hold the control button to select more than one area. Many people are confused by this and end up sending us paper copies rather than electronic with the areas of certification handwritten in.
If I make these check boxes, I end up with almost one whole page of selections.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi George,
Unfortunately, I do not have experience with JavaScript and the school district budget doesn't allow for me to be able to pursue the training or contract it out....I was just hoping I would find a relatively easy solution...

Hi LoriG,
Another way you could do this is shown in this tutorial (with download sample file)-
Programming List Fields and Combo Boxes Part 2You could modify it to use a drop-down list for the master list of choices and have the responses go into the results field. May or may not work for you, but since you can't get funding for any help thought it may be useful.
Hope this helps,
Dimitri

The problem is implementing it involves a fair amount of JavaScript that needs to be tailored to your needs. Do you have any experience in this area?
