Show/hide objects/fields in PDF application (form) ...

$

Hello,

 

I'm creating a PDF application (form).

 

The layout is being done in InDesign then the fields/buttons/drop-down boxes are being added in Acrobat Pro.

 

I have a situation in the application where the user will select an option from a drop-down menu ... let's say the options are "car" and "airplane". (These are just examples.)

 

when the applicant selects "car" it should only show the following fields ...

 

  • Tires
  • Engine
  • Fuel Economy

 

When the applicant selects "airplane" it should only show the following fields ...

 

  • Wingspan
  • Max. Altitude
  • Seating Capacity

 

How do I do this? I only want the applicant to see/access the fields that are relevant to the selections they make earlier in the application.

 

From what I've found online, "Java Script" is what I need to work with ... but I have no idea how that works.

 

I have no ability to write code from scratch, but I have been successfull at modifiying existing code.

 

Some examples or some code that I can copy/paste and modify would be great.

 

Also, where do I go within Acrobat to access/modify the code?

 

Thanks in advance!
