Reply To: How to enter excel list in drop down menu

[~~Ariel~~Participant]

You have to convert the Excel list to a single line that looks like this:

var l = this.getField("ListBox");
l.setItems(["One", "Two", "Three"]);

… where, instead of “ListBox”, enter the name of your field, and instead of “One”, “Two”, “Three” replace it with your list from Excel.

As described in the post I linked to, this should be added as a Document script in FormMaker, and that Document script should be removed (in Acrobat) before you distribue the final PDF.

This is a workaround, but it makes it a lot easier than using InDesign’s UI for the task.
