"How can I keep dropdown menus from falling behind PDFs embedded in a web page?"

The earliest occurrence of this question on this forum is 2004.
Google records: Results "5,960,000 for menu drop down behind pdf"

It's asked a lot...and is there still no solution?

Thanks,
John.

There is very little communication between Acrobat and a systems OS or web browser.

Embedding a PDFs in a web page makes them hard to read. Opening the PDF form in a new window would allow a larger view. Also being able to download a form to the local system and opening in Acrobat or Reader makes it easier to read.

You may have to scroll the form so the drop down box is at the top of the window and then try it. Also you may need to use the down arrow to navigate down the list.

Im not sure, but this could be a webdesign problem. Try to put an iframe behind the pdf. This is the solution if adobe flash has the same problem.

Try it, perhaps its working...
