The PDF Combo Box control places a drop-down combo box object on the PDF output that displays a list of predefined options. The object's list of options can be loaded from an external source into the control, or through a data query. When displayed in the PDF output the combo box values can be set as editable for the user. The combo box data can be accessed by a java script function.
