Adding a Pages in a Form

I am looking for some help. I am very new with Adobe and I am working on a form that has radio buttons and I want to add pages into the form when a button is selected. I have made my 2 additional pages templates with the names: Additonal 1 and Additional 2. I am struggling with the script to make this happen. Any help would be awesome!

To do this you'll need to use a Page Template. You'll find plenty of posts here on this topic. Here's a search:

I have made both additional pages templates within the file. I am looking for the script that will bring these additional pages up with the button is selected. Any ideas?

You must use the method spawn.

Are you trying to spawn pages from the Templates or to show/hide them? What code are you using, and what happens when you use it?

I have a single page for with fields to be filled and radio buttons to be checked. I have 2 buttons, that when checked will add a new form with new fields to be completed. If both buttons are selected then the form would be a total of 3 pages. I am new to the scripts, so I am looking for guidance on the correct script.

I don't have a script I'm using. That is what I'm looking for guidance with.
