The subject cut me off.

What I am looking to do is make it so when you are in the PDF and the Data has been imported, that when I choose one of the fields, the rest of the fields auto populate corresponding to that choose.

I have the XML schema to work and have a import button to make it easy, just need the above statement to work.

Please Help Me.

Thank You

Made the form in LiveCycle Designer 8.2, did a data connection using XML Schema

Needs to work in Reader

Let me rephrase this,

If you were to make a PDF in LiveCycle and wanted DropDown-list to Auto Populate other fields based on your choose in the DropDown-list.

You would run a script in the the Script Editor under Change like so:

var Main_Part_Number = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);

switch (Main_Part_Number)
{
case "3721":
DESCRIPTION.rawValue = "insert 2-port decora keystone (white)"

default:
break;
}

So in the DropDown-list I choose 3721, then the DESCRIPTION text field would auto populate with - insert 2-port decora keystone (white) -

What I am looking to do is make this happen when I insert a XML data connection. But not having to write the script. All the information is brought in through the data connection.

Is there a way to make this happen, if you have questions more about what I am trying to do or the answer please respond.

Thank You
