drop-down menu in Word won't retain when converted to pdf

I created a few drop-down menus in MS Word, and when I convert the document to pdf, you can see where the drop-down menus were, but the function is gone. For accessibility, our web people want us to create these in MS Word. What can I do?

You have to re-create the fields in Acrobat.

Sad to say, there is no conversion between word forms and Acrobat Forms.
