I have bound a drop-down to an XML file and the form previews perfectly in LiveCycle. However when the PDF is viewed in outside of LiveCycle (e.g normal Adobe Acrobat) the drop-down is empty.
I have checked;
1. Default File Type for New Forms in Tools->Options->Document Handling is set to Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML Form.
2. The file path and data is known good.
I can get the drop-down populated manually by using Manage Form Data->Import Data but that is very ordinary behaviour that sort of defats the purpose of having a "dynamic data source". Surely it should populate the form automagically when the form is loaded by the reader.....
