A user interface display method implemented on a computer-controlled device to allow an operator to define a list of selected items among a plurality of items available for selection. The operator starts by selecting a pre-existing list containing a number of selected items. A modified list is generated which initially contains the same items as the pre-existing list. The device displays all of the items available for selection, as well as first and second indications associated with each item initially in the modified list. Then, in response to operator inputs to add items to (or remove items from) the modified list, second indications are displayed (or removed from display) in association with the items to be added (or removed), without changing the display of any of the first indications and any of the plurality of items. The modified list is saved without changing the pre-existing list.

User interface method for modifying a selection list of items to add or remove items while indicating original selection

A method for dynamic display of at least one layer in a PDF document, comprising the steps of setting at least one criterion for at least one property of a trigger to change a display state of the at least one layer of the PDF document to another display state of the at least one layer of the PDF document, creating a script that can be processed by a PDF document reader and that contains the at least one criterion for the at least one property of the trigger, and embedding the script in the PDF document, wherein when the PDF document is opened by the PDF document reader, the script causes evaluation of the at least one property for the trigger, and if the at least one criterion for the at least one property of the trigger is met, then the script causes a change of the display state of the at least one layer of the PDF document.
