If you're talking about lots of PDF documents,
I think you could do this with iText:

AcroFields form = reader.getAcroFields();
HashMap fields = form.getFields();
String key;
for (Iterator i = fields.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
 key = (String) i.next();
 if (form.getFieldType(key) == AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_LIST)
   form.setFieldProperty(key, "clrfflags", PdfFormField.MULTILINE, null);
}
