I created a form in the Writer (LibreOffice). This form contains drop-down lists. Exported to PDF. On my computer (Windows 7) the contents of these drop-down lists is read in PDF form, but on Linux computers the contents of these lists is not displayed.

What to do to fix this problem?

Do you use Adobe Reader on the Linux system?

Checking the Linux computers. They do not have installed Adobe Reader, though do the reading and the file is the same as the icon of Adobe Reader

Then you will need to contact the people who support the software you are actually using. I am not hopeful, however, as most non-Adobe software is very poor indeed for form filling. To make matters worth, Adobe has discontinued Reader for Linux, it is stuck 3 versions behind, unsupported, and becoming troublesome to run on recent Linux systems.
