Question

Need a button to trigger a hidden page to show

I have a PDF with a page that collects 'building information,' and the user needs to be able to repeat that page up to 10 times to add additional buildings. I don't just want 10 pages of the same fields in case someone only needs to fill out one building page.

 

I'd like a button to 'add additional buildings' that will open one more building page to fill out (etc. etc. until they've reached 10, if desired).

 

Is there a way to hide duplicate pages, and have a button trigger those hidden pages to show up to be completed?

Adding new pages is implemented with a Page Template, which is spawned to create new pages. 

Unfortunately there isn't a lot of good documentation on this topic. But Page templates are created with a menu item in the "Organize Pages" toolset. Then JavaScript is used to create the new pages. This functionality only works in viewers that implement the Acrobat JavaScript model.
