Combobox - multiline options (Acrobat Pro DC)

[stephanief92701060]

Good morning. I’m hoping someone can help? I am trying to create a form with a dropdown field with multiline (paragraph) item options in Acrobat Pro DC. Is there any easy way to do this?

Yes, but it's not easy. Multi-line item entries have to be set from a script.

You can read about scripting for lists (dropdowns and lists are the same) here:

As mentioned, this can be achieved with a script, but it's an undocumented feature and it tends to be buggy. I would recommend against doing it.
