Form Editing/Creation

How do I edit a form so that when a selection is made from a drop down or list menu, it will open another form so that you can enter in the correct data?

Hi,

See an example here with two options: http://assure.ly/vRyoeQ.

Thanks for the information; however, I do not want to open a new page.  What I want to do is hide or unhide information on a form based on a user's selections.  Let me try to explain it better.  I am using LIveCycle ES 8.2 and I have this pdf form that I have imported into application to make editable.  On one of the object's, I have made a drop down or list box and when the user makes a selection, I want it to display the appropriate fields on the page based off of the selection.

Hi,

First, because you have imported an existing document (Word or PDF) into LC Designer, you need to make sure that you can save the form as a Dynamic XML Form (in the save as dialog).

If you cannot save the form as dynamic, you will not be able to get dynamic behaviour working, like show and hide pages/objects.

If you can save the form as dynamic, then these might help:

• Working with the presence property: http://assure.ly/h7whb8.
• Showing and hiding pages: http://assure.ly/iWzzPg.
• Showing and hiding pages with a loop: http://assure.ly/kyMP6l.
