PDFFormList Box

 

The PDF List Box control places a object on the PDF output that allows the user to select one or more items from a list contained within a static, multiple line text box. 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 user clicks inside the box on an item to select it, where the list box can even be set to accept multiple selected values. The list box data can be accessed by a java script function.
