I am using Adobe Acrobat 8 professional on my mac.
I can use Live Cycle on my PC if thats what I need to do to solve this problem.

I have a form which is a customer proof.
I need a certain text box to auto populate with a "file path" or "bread crumb" of a piece of artwork in a certain job folder.
This is so the everyone involved in the job knows the file path of the approved artwork on this proof.

Regardless if I use a text box, drop down, image box etc... I need to find a way to put the file path of a pice of art on our proofs.

Kind of like when you create a pdf in indesign and you check page information, the file path of the pdf is at the bottom.

Thanks in advance
Wade
