Possible to Extract Options From a List Box?

Question

i am editing an existing form using Acrobat Pro DC, and need to make changes to the options in a List Box. I would like to extract all of the options available in the List Box so that I can then paste them into a Word Document. My goal is to get an at-a-glance view of all of the options in a one page list.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Sure, it's easily done with a script.Open the JS Console (Ctrl+J) and paste this code into it:var f = this.getField("Dropdown1");for (var i=0; i<f.numItems; i++) console.println(f.getItemAt(i));Edit the first line and replace "Dropdown1" with the actual field name (keep the quotes, though).Then select all of the code with the mouse and press Ctrl+Enter.The script will print to the console the list of items for that field.
