I'm trying to create a form where a field technician, is allowed to insert figures into the form. Is this possible using the list box, or are there other methods? I'm using Acrobat X.
Using List box to allow form completer to insert figures?

By figures do you mean images? If so, it depends whether your technicians have Acrobat or Reader.

The technicians have Acrobat. I was hoping that they can click on the drop down menu and have a popup screen, for where to get the image file they want to attach. Like when you attach a file to an email.

I was a bit obscure with my first answer, but the additional informaiton helps clearing quite a bit.
So, the field technicians have a series of drawings/images, they want to insert into the document/form.
As they have Acrobat, and this Acrobat installation can be supported, it is possible.
Either you can attach the drawing as a file attachment, and extract it where needed, or you can set up your form with a Button field, where you can import the drawing as icon.
For the importing as icon approach, you may need to install an application-level script, but this should be possible and acceptable procedure in your environment.

Max, thanks for your answer. Are there examples of a similar script that would accomplish this? And if so, can you direct me to where I can find them?
Thanks

The code samples in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation help a lot already.
In particular you should look at importIcon, buttonSetIcon, and the Icon Object, and also follow the references in those descriptions.

Whatever is in your form, and whatever the analysis of your form's task has led to.
