Hi Ted, I liked your videos, they are very simple and easy to use (although I could not download any example... I don't know why). I want to ask you the following question, is it possible to create a dropdown in which each field has a link, a bookmark or an anchor to a specific part of the same document? as if it were a table of contents? I imagine that javascript should be used, I have a little experience with acrobat pro but only in the editorial field? Thank you very much Ricardo Buenos Aires City, Argentina (traducido por Deepl)

Hola Ricardo. I typically would use an app.popUpMenu script to navigate pages from a table of contents. I would use Named Destinations and the popup menu would be coded to navigate to the Named Destinations. Creating Named Destinations is easy. You open the Destinations panel on the left side of the document window below the Bookmarks panel. Navigate to a page and view you want. Then in the Panel choose New destination (it captures the current view). Provide a descriptive name. Create a Button field and add a JavaScript -something like: var cChoice = app.popUpMenu ("one", "two", "three"); // Named Dest. (one, two, three) if(cChoice != null) this.gotoNamedDest(cChoice); If you want submenus, use the following: var cChoice = app.popUpMenu (["Page1 ", "Introduction"], // Page 1 is submenu title & Introduction is the Dest. ["Page 2", "Touring Buenos Aires"], ["Page 3", "Five Star Restaurants"]); this.gotoNamedDest(cChoice); When I get some time I'll upload a video on creating Destinations and popUp menus For downloading PDFs from my web site, maybe check your firewall on your web server. Maybe check a different web server to see if you can access files.

Hi Ted. I don't know if you have info on this or not. Do American drop down menus also commonly include external US territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa....etc. ? I have seen a couple of US menus like that, but don't know if it's common or is something that a few people have deliberately added? Background: I'm Australian and our state/territory menus only list the six Australian states and two internal territories. That makes it awkward for people who live in Australian External Territories (like Norfolk, Christmas and Cocos Islands etc.) as they need to 'lie' in order to complete a form. For me it's even worse as Australia also has a FORMER external territory, which since 1975 has been a separate country. So I was born in Papua New Guinea in 1953 when it was an Australian territory, but recently when completing an official government form requiring 'place of birth', I clicked on 'Australia' for country, which led to a sub-menu for states / territories where I had no option listed for an 'An External Australian Territory'. I'm hoping to make 'External Australian Territory' a common option here, and it would help my case if the USA already commonly lists its external territories on drop menus. Thanks if you can help. No worries if it's something you don't know about. Great clip BTW. Phil.

Hi Phil. I think it varies. I think you can find many sites that include US Territories and many that do not. Given the fact that the number of territories are few, it's easy to go into the dropdown properties and manually add them. Likewise, you can also append Australian territories if you have a dropdown containing the six Australia states. -ted
