Adding Combo-box Items

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I've got a PDF that needs to have several combo boxes with items from a database. So far I've managed to create the PDF, add the form field, and populate it with values (this article was very useful). However, the entries I need are all Key > Value pairs.

If I add the field and values manually using Acrobat, there is a text-box for "Export Value", which is the value that is pulled through when I retrieve the field value after the form has been completed. I can't see how to set the "Export Value" when creating the field and adding the values in QuickPDF. Is it possible? If so, how?

Any help on this would be appreciated. I've trawled the function list and can't seem to find anything. Apologies if I've missed it.

Many Thanks,
James
