How does the Add Dropdown work?
Add an AcroForm dropdown to an existing PDF — a single field with a click-to-expand list of preset options. Choose strict mode (user must pick from listed options) or combo-box mode (user can also type custom values). Useful for state / country selection, account-type, status flags, or any single-select with a known option set.
🔒 Security & Privacy
All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.
