Quick PDF Library creates and manages  form fields of Choice type,
so they can be properly rendered with other PDF viewers.
But there is known issue in Quick PDF that is connected with rendering Choice form fields.
It is already fixed and is going to be added to the nearest release.
 
Let me provide a code sample that may help to create and manage Choice form fields:
 
var
  f: Integer;
  QPL: TQuickPDF;

begin
// Create QPL instance here and may be load some PDF file...
  with QPL do
  begin
    f := NewFormField('Choice1', 5);
    AddFormFieldSub(f, ' - one');
    AddFormFieldSub(f, ' - two');
    AddFormFieldSub(f, ' - three');
    SetOrigin(1);
    SetFormFieldBounds(f, 50, 50, 150, 30);
    SetFormFieldBackgroundColor(f, 0.5, 1, 0.5);
    // Here subitem with subindex=2 is selected
    SetFormFieldValue(f, GetFormFieldSubName(f, 2));
    UpdateAppearanceStream(f);
  end;
end;

Try the knowledgebase of QuickPDF searching with "choice" and "radio button":

Hi JC21!

Please have a look in the online reference at

the SetFormField...-calls.
With the current version it's not possible to create Dropdown-elements.
These are the possible styles with NewFormField:
1 = Text
2 = Pushbutton
3 = Checkbox
4 = Radiobutton
5 = Choice
6 = Signature
7 = Parent
 
Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo
