Hi,

LC Designer can handle this, you just need to give a full enough reference to the object that you want to access.

So for example if the subform was on page5 and the dropdown was on page1, the script in the dropdown would look something like this:

page5.flowedSubform.optionA.presence = "hidden";

You drag on subforms where you want to group objects, so that for example you can change their presence or have flowed content. You don't have to create subforms - you can just drag objects onto the page and access them individually. Its up to you.

There are various online guides on the Adobe website.

And a very handy resource (and while it is for version 6 it is still very good because of the way it is laid out):http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/CalcScripts.pdf

JP Terry's book on LC Forms is very good and we use www.pdfscripting.com (which is a subscription service).

The help file also helps with syntax and LC Designer comes with templates/examples.

Lastly, check out the Developer's Network on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/

Hope that helps,
