Question

Create custom fillable form

I want to create a pdf form template.

This template should import data from a source (xml, database, excel, txt).

One dataset has a specific amount of fields - but I don't know how many datasets in the source (for one recipient).

So how can I create continuous like form with Acrobat DC?

And after importing this custom data - how can I save this in a separate fillable form - send to the recipient (with previously imported data, but, some fields, must be still editable).

Thanks.

Acrobat can no longer import data form databases. It can import data form a tab delimited file which has a very specific layout. Also PDF forms can not dynamically have the field s and data sources easily changed.

You say "easily changed" ... must not be easy ... I like challenges .

It's possible to do this by using JavaScript or process XML/XSL (XSL-FO) - or something else?
