Re: is there the equivalent of select() in acrobat forms

There is not a select method associated with form field in Acrobat. A selection can only occur when a text field has the focus, so it's not possible when clicking a button. The event.selStart and event.selEnd properties are available during a text field's Keystroke event.

It might be helpful if you were to explain what it is that you're trying to accomplish as there may be alternatives.
