Script for importing mark-up by form dropdown selection

I am trying to import mark-ups based on the value of a dropdown on the page.

I currently have the import script as a toolbar button. I have several different pre-made styles and need the dropdown "RISER_TYPE" to import the mark-up associated to the value when selected.

EXAMPLE

if "RISER_TYPE" dropdown = "example value-1" then IMPORT("C:\PDF MARK UP TEMPLATES\TEMPLATE-1 REV 1.0.bax" , if "RISER_TYPE" dropdown value = "example value-2" then IMPORT("C:\PDF MARK UP TEMPLATES\TEMPLATE-2 REV 1.0.bax"))

Acrobat SDK and JavaScript

The basic code would be something like this (as the custom validation script of the drop-down field):

if (event.value=="ABC") this.importAnFDF("/c/temp/abc.fdf");

Acrobat doesn't have the ability to import .bax files. It can import comments in FDF and XFDF files. What PDF viewer are you using?
