{
    pdfDocumentProcessor.LoadDocument("Documents//FormDemo.pdf");

    PdfDocumentFacade documentFacade = pdfDocumentProcessor.DocumentFacade;
    PdfAcroFormFacade acroForm = documentFacade.AcroForm;

    //Set combo box field value:
    PdfComboBoxFormFieldFacade nationalityField = acroForm.GetComboBoxFormField("Nationality");
