Drop down list text value in Livecycle Designer

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 13 Nov 2009 in Adobe Interactive Forms | 5 comments

Last week I had to get the chosen item from a drop down list in a PDF Livecycle Designer Form. Easy enough you should think.

But it did not work as I thought it would work.

As you would think the : $.rawValue would get you the item you want. But I did not want to have the item value but the text value.
