Popup menus for Acrobat (A great user-interface item) Thom Parker – Feb 5, 2007 Acrobat 5.0 introduced a new user-interface item, the popup menu.

Popup menus are created dynamically through the App Object so they don’t take up any space on the PDF, a definite plus in many situations. Another big advantage over the combo box field is the ability to create hierarchical lists of choices, making popup menus more useful for many types of applications.
