[PDF_Doc->AddComboBox]

[PDF_Doc->AddComboBox] adds a pull-down menu to a form in a [PDF_Doc] variable. A required -Name parameter specifies the name of the pull-down menu, and a required -Values parameter specifies the array of values contained in the menu (Value1, Value2, etc.). An -Options paramter may be used instead of the -Values paramter that specifies a pair for each value. The first element in the pair is the value to be used upon form submission, and the second element is the human-readable label to be used for display only. An optional -Default parameter specifies the name of a default value selected. An optional -Editiable parameter specifies that the user may edit the values on the menu. An optional -Font parameter may be used to specify a [PDF_Font] variable to be userd as the text font.
