Please advise if changing an existing field, set up as a drop down possible to a field set up as a list. Deleting and starting over is not preferable. Thank you

It's not possible to directly convert a form field of one type to another. A script can do it by removing the old field and then creating a new one in the same location, and the same name, but a different type. Doing that will cause some settings to be lost, though.

If you're interested in a (paid-for) tool that will do just that, check out this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Convert Form Fields Type
