All Field Bindings are lost after executing a Web Service.

Hi All,

I noticed that after a Web Service (Data Connection) is executed inside the PDF (XFA), all bindings are lost.

For example, if there is a Drop-Down List Field whose Items (list) are bound to XML Data Source (Data Connection), this binding is lost after the Web Service is executed.

However, the XML Data Connection is still there, as I could verify this, but I don't know how to rebind the data to the Drop-Down List after executing the web service.

Appreciate your help.

Tarek.

This comfirms that after you execute a web service, the Drop-Down List fields will become empty due to remerge operation. Well, I have to issue a remerge, otherwise, the PDF will not be populated properly.
