Drop Down list Allow Custom Text Entry Behaviour

Avatar

Level 1

We have created a PDF form using LiveCycle Deisgner ES3 wherein we have a drop-down list field that is checked to allow custom text entry. When we type in the few characters, it would show the correct choice from the drop-down list.

The feature is working fine with Adobe Reader 9 but failing for Adobe reader X and XI.

Does anybody come across such problem or is there any other way to achieve the desired functionality ?

Please find below the behaviourial screenshot for same

Adobe Reader 9


Adobe Reader X and XI
