Select items from a drop-down list

Question

Hi all,in a PDF module I entered a drop-down menu field.This field contains a great amount of items, so it would be very useful (instead of scrolling down till to the 1000-th item of the list) if I could start digiting first letters so that only items beginning with that letters will appear.Is it possible in some way?Thank you, P.T.

You can do the first letter (only) with either the drop down menu or list, but you can’t type additional letters of the entry.

It is possible with a script to create much better options for huge dropdown lists. The best one in my opinion is to not use a dropdown at all, but a popup hierarchical menu. However, the downside is that scripting doesn’t work in mobile and browser based viewers. This is an Acrobat/Reader desktop solution only.
