Default Acrobat 9 - Add Email Value to Names in Drop Down Box

Hi All,

Hopefully a guru can help with this one.

I'm experimenting with Acrobat 9 and have a form that contains a drop-down box (combo box) with several different names in it. I want the user to be able to click on a name, then click a "Submit" button next to it that will email the form to the person they selected.

For instance, the dropdown would contain names as follows:

Joe Blow
Joe Plumber
Sara Bellum
Etc
Etc

I want to assign their email address (@somewhere.org) to each name.

A "Submit" button would be next to this dropdown that would actually email the form.

Hope someone can handhold a Acrobat 9 noobie on this one - Thanks!

Hopefully someone will have a link to a tutorial or a step-by-step description of how to assign values to these combo box selections.

I can get the "Combo Box Properties" to come up but don't see anyway to assign values to my (multiple) drop-down names.

Anyone have a (step-by-step) method for assigning email addresses to my combo box names?

Thanks!
Brian

Hi Brian,

The different options, tabs, properties, etc available for combo boxes are defined in the Acrobat Help file- always a good first place to check out when you're just getting started with Acrobat. If you open the Help file and search on Combo Boxes there is an entry "Options tab for form field properties" This tells you where to place the export values.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri

It lets you enter values for the combo box when you first input the menu items, but not after the fact...So I'm ok there now.

Now I just need to tie my "submit" button back to the combo box selection to send the email to the designated person...

Thanks,
Brian
