This is an AcroForm made with Adobe Acobat not with AEM Forms. This is a totally different type of PDF form. AcroForms are static and can't change the layout dynamically. The ony thing you can do is to cover the sections to be hidden with a white, read-only button or field. Then you add a script to the field you select the vendor type to change its display property. 

 

Here's a blog that shows how:
