Summary0005421: PDF Forms: New option "Commit selected values immediately" for Combo Boxes and List Boxes needed
DescriptionWe need an additional option "Commit selected value immediately" in the Options tab of the Combo Box and List Box properties.

Currently the selection changes will be committed only after taking the focus off the Combo box/List box, which is too late in most cases, in particular if you want to do something with javascript immediately after switching the options.
Steps To Reproduce- open the attached pdf form
- try to switch some options and then to click outside the boxes to see how it works now
- Open the attached sla file, go to PDF options/Field properties/Options and compare them with those:

The javascript code is in the Format tab/Keystroke of the Combo box respectively in the Action tab/Selection Change event part of the List box.
Additional InformationThis link has a nice description of combo boxes inclusive some screen shots of properties tabs:)

Just checked the PDF Reference, this is a PDF-1.5 feature.

acknowledging for 1.3.6 as stated by cbradney.

btw, if it works with PDF 1.5 (and above?), it would be good to describe the option as such right in the option tab (a tooltip would be to hidden in this case), e.g.:

==OPTIONS==
x Editable
x Commit selected values immediately (PDF 1.5 only)
x Sort items
