Hi Djordje,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the following code to meet this requirement.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + “DropDownFormField.docx”);

FormField ff = doc.getRange().getFormFields().get(0);

int i = 0;

while (!ff.getResult().equals("")){

System.out.println(ff.getResult());

ff.setDropDownSelectedIndex(++i);

}

I hope, this helps.

Best regards,

Hi Djordje,

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, you can get handle to FormField inside DocumentVisitor.VisitFormField Method and execute the code from my previous post to get individual list items. Hope, this helps.
