Is it possible to hide the white background of the dropdown boxes like normal fillable boxes, because when I print with a dropdown box then the drop symbol and white backgound print out too, is there any solution??

hi, is it possible to show/hide a group of fields (text, form field, radio button, etc.) instead?

Hello!
Does this also work if the field is to be displayed in the dropdown menu for several options?
e.g. with Adobe and Acrobat?

Hi, do you have a video where you click on the drop-down option and it gives a description of that option in a text field? For example "Apples, carrots, Peas" are my options. When I click on apple from the drop down it describes the option selected in paragraph form "Apples are red, green, and taste good." I appreciate it!

Whenever I enter the JavaScript like yours, it “disappears” after I hit “ok”. It won’t appear in the “custom calculation script” where I entered it

Hi, I want to add multi select field in fillable PDF form. Is this possible? Should I add a drop down/combo box? Suppose my combo box has 5 options. And I want to be able to select 1 option, 2-3 options or All the 5 options. Or should I create 5 drop downs that select only 1 option? Please help. 🔥❤️🙏🙏
