Multi-selection to create new document and print - How to import value in different window or frame

I am working on a script to generate a new document on selected item in a multimenu form.
The user will have to make one selection in 3 drop-down lists. The user will have to make one or more selection in a chexbox form in a pop-up window activated by an onclick button. Each selection need to be store in avariable and then used to create a new window with all the selected items. The question is how to import each selection in the different pop-up windows in the final window. This one will be printable.

Thank you.

So the user will have tomake multiselection in different new window and I want all the selected items to be printable on a last new window...

Thank you for your idea.
