Also can't to select value in combobox. In Google Chrome works fine.

P.S. Is it possible with jsPDF to embed javascript code into a document for interacting with arcforms? I know about the addJS method, but I don’t know how to access acroform objects and how to handle events?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the ComboBox and ListBox behavior in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2019.010.20099 and compare it with Google Chrome. The issue mentions jsPDF AcroForm objects and addJS but names no files or tests; done would require defining and verifying compatible value display and selection behavior, while clarifying the separate JavaScript interaction question.
