I have field 1, 2, 3

If I input A in field 1, it will look up from below data and auto fill field2 with value B and field 3 with value C.

A,B,C

D,E,F

This can be an text file or a database.

Is it possible by using javascript? I will create the form using Acrobat DC Pro, and user to open with adobe reader.

Appreciate any help or suggestion, thanks.

It's possible with a text file, yes, but the file will have to be attached to the PDF itself. Also, it will require writing a custom-made script to achieve it.

Do you know what script method can I use, for read text data and do the lookup??

Thanks.

The basic method to use to read the contents of an attached file is

getDataObjectContents, of the Doc object.
