Hi all,
I have a DropDownList that shows countries, and the user is required to select one of them.
How can I display an empty value when the Pdf is open (instead of 'Albania', the first on the list), and validate that a valid country il selected?

Thanks a lot.

Use the + to add a new value to your drop down list. Space bar three times in the box and hit enter.

Easiest way I have found is to select the field in question
under
Object tab
----Value tab

look for Default field

click within the field and simply highlight the default and hit backspace and enter

this clears the field
