copy text fields and drop down menu fields

Hi,

Using LiveCycle Designer ES, I am making a simple form with some text fields and along with some drop-down menu fields.  With the resulting pdf, I need for one to be able to select the appropriate selection in the drop-down menus.  Then using cntl-a to select everything and then cntl-v to copy it into a text document.  This approach will only copy the text fields and not what is showing in the drop-down menu field.  Is there any way to solve this problem?  The end users computer has limited tools and software cannot be installed on it.

Thank you for considering this issue and any help you may provide,

Hi,

I don't really know if the text field can be selected using Ctl+a, but if that is possible how about adding extra text field that is linked to pulldown menu?

If the usage of the PDF is only for copying, then I would make a formcalc or javascript to combine all the text into one text field so that user only need to copy paste one field.
