Question

Dropdown list assistance - name and signature

I had forms created with Adobe LiveCycle and one of those forms had a dropdown with 4 names, and once a name was selected the image of their signature will show above said name. I was given a new computer and my version of livecycle is no longer compatible and adobe pro form creation does not allow me to do this, unless i have not found a way to do so.

I tried to import the file i currently have but adobe pro does not support xfa files because of the interactive items it contains.

Any assistance would be greately appreciated as i am new on creating forms with adobe pro.

Put the signature images in button fields and hide them all.  Name the button fields to match the names in the dropdown.  Use a custom validation script in the dropdown that hides all the button fields, then shows the one that matches the name:

this.getField("Tom Smith").display=display.hidden;
this.getField("Pete Moss").display=display.hidden;
this.getField("Mike Jones").display=display.hidden;

if(event.value)
{
this.getField(event.value).display=display.visible;
}

LCD forms have a different scripting model than regular Acrobat forms. The code is similar, but not exactly the same.
