1. Re: Drop down list / combo or list box properties that would be useful
try67 Feb 11, 2014 1:18 AM (in response to HUnknown1)Don't expect any answers as to what Adobe is planning on doing. The people posting here are 99% users, just like you, not Adobe employees. And those who do know will probably not say so, anyway...
1) That's possible using a script. But you can always add a single space as the default value...
2) Also possible with a script, but very buggy and not recommended.
3) Also possible with a script.
4) That one's easy. Use a blank PDF file where you create those menus, and then you could simply copy them over to your other files from there.
5) There are currently two date pickers available for Acrobat forms: The one by FormRouter and a newer one by Max Wyss, which is not free but is quite good and uses a dialog object instead of form fields.
You can request new features here, by the way:

2. Re: Drop down list / combo or list box properties that would be useful
HUnknown1 Feb 11, 2014 11:29 AM (in response to try67)Thanks those are good points. I'm just at this point interested to hear suggestions on these topics, since I get students who ask these questions and I like to hear what others options are as well. And I do recomned for 4) using a blank page to store the files like a library, but I thought I'd like to hear some some ideas to see if I was thinking correctly.
I've heard from other forums that 2) can be buggy so I did see some example on acrobatusers.com That I think would be good script workarounds, though not exactly what I want.
I just think that in the adobe acrobat help menu. They should either have a tutorial on their site on how to build a script for this.
Thanks again!

try67 Feb 11, 2014 12:05 PM (in response to HUnknown1)4) another option is, surprise surpise, to use a script for this one as well. Such a script would add new menu items to Acrobat that would insert a pre-defined field at a pre-defined location when clicked.
