I want to make a dropdown selection in Adobe Acrobat with fixed answers e.g. male, female,... and one option where the end user can fill in their own answer. I am not familiar with Java and I wonder if I actually need to do this in Java.

You're welcome. I unchecked my answer, as @Nesa Nurani provided the correct one. Mine works, but is not as elegant.

In dropdown field under 'Options' tab, check 'Allow user to enter custom text'

Thanks, found it. Must've overlooked that window.

You need to make a field, where the user enters their custom answer. If a user selects one out of the dropdown, you copy that answer to the field. With that method, you only have to deal with the content of the field.
