    Hi Shidduch,

    Thanks for the feedback. I cloned your form to test it, and I easily replicated the issue. The selected value in the dropdown is displayed in my email, but it does not appear correctly in the PDF Editor. Check out my screenshot below:

    I saw that the dropdown is located on the last page of the PDF.

    There is an easy fix for this, we just need to move the form field into its correct position. Let me show you how:

    1. Click the dropdown field and drag it to its correct position. Dropdown Field not showing in PDF Editor Image 3 Screenshot 82
    2. You can also select again the dropdown field by clicking the Add Element button on the left side of your page.
    3. Go to Form Fields, select the dropdown field, and add it to your Document. Dropdown Field not showing in PDF Editor Image 4 Screenshot 93

    That's it! Test your PDF, and you should see the dropdown field in its correct position. Check out my screencast below:

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
