Is it possible to connect a PDF form to a Microsoft Access database using javascript? I want a read only text box on the form to get the autonumber field from Microsoft Access database I created.

As Thom said, it’s not possible directly, but there are ways to get data ifrom a database into a form. It does require some additional software: Connect to Database from PDF Form - This Time Without SOAP - KHKonsulting LLC

The short answer is No.

However, a LiveCycle PDF has this ability, and you can access a local DB through ODBC, or any other kind of data source indirectly through a server script.
