using selection in one combo box to populate contents of another c

I have a combo box that has 5 categories in it. When a user clicks on a
category in that list, I need to have a second box populate with a list of
pdf files that relate only to that category. Then, when the user clicks on
the appropriate pdf file, I need the file to open in Adobe Reader. How can I
make this happen? Is it a matter of including the entire list of all pdf
files available in the second box and then somehow filtering them by the
category the user selects? If so, how does that work? Thanks.
