Populate dropdown with long list of options

How can I quickly add a long list of items (currently in Excel) into a dropdown menu in an Acrobat PDF dropdown? NOTE: This is not a dependent dropdown. I just need to import a large list of items ONCE so I don't have to manually type them all out.

 

I am not using AEM Forms (LiveCycle) Designer for this specific project because it needs to be viewable on mobile devices and we do not have the server component set up to display HTML forms in a browser yet.

 

I have spent so much time trying to figure this out that at this point I probably could've finished typing all 300 values already...sigh!
