Convert multi text fields to drop list

There's no built-in way in Acrobat to change a field's type, or even to tell the fields detection wizard which fields to create. The only way to automate this type of task is with a script, that removes the old fields and create new ones in their place, using the new field type.

I've developed such a script and it's available as a (paid-for) tool here, if you're interested:
