How do I graph, create KPIs and then display the produced graphic in a PDF file

I am using javascript to create an interactive PDF. I have just been doing this for a few weeks so I'm definitely a beginner. I have been successful in collecting and storing data from user form input.

Now, I would like to graph results from this data (and ultimately create KPIs) and insert the generated images at predefined locations in the same PDF document - but I am not having any success.

1) I haven't been able to find PDF javascript APIs to create basic graphs.

2) Also I tried to import external library that creates KPIs into my PDF javascript logic but it didn't allow me to use the 'import' statement.

Is what I'm trying to do possible?

Thanks

Acrobat SDK and JavaScript

I honestly don't think PDF is your solution, even if it may be your deliverable. You might have a much less painful development process if you work with apps which are designed for graphing, and a front end app for data entry, then finally export to PDF. Yes, the user would need Acrobat, if Acrobat is your tool for exporting to PDF; depends on the graphing tool.
