I’m developing a fillable form with drop down list, data connection, signatures and everything in Adobe LiveCycle Designer … The data connections are to MS Access database.
 
My intention is to use that form with Acrobat Reader 8.
 
What do I need to enable data connection with Acrobat Reader?

My Product Information:
Reader 8, Windows

You'll need to enable Adobe Reader Extensions for your form. Check out the services provided by [url=http://www.formrouter.com]http://www.formrouter.com[/url]

They are authorized and licenced to provide Reader Extensions for Adobe PDF forms.

I have a form that is connected to a OLEDB database. The data view reflects all the fields associated with the selected table from the database. On the LiveCycle form I have a drop down list named Vendor No. which displays the entire list of vendor numbers. When a user selects a vendor number from the drop down list I would like to have a text field populated that reflects the corresponding vendor name which is also a field within the same table. I am unable to locate scripts that would accomodate this scenario - can it be done?
