Summarizing check-lists in documents

Question

Hello everyone,I am currently creating a marketing booklet for a client that he wants to send out to individual distributors. The goal is that each distributor can do a self-assessment at the end of each chapter, checking a box whether they feel they are at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% fulfillment of the individual marketing-step. In total, there will be 9 chapters in the document. My client wants the results of the self-assessment to be summarized on a final page of the document. To do so, the checked boxes should fill themselves automatically on that final page. Meaning: the final page will have the name of each of the nine chapters listed underneath each other with the 5 percentage-options next to each chapter name - and the correct percentage checked.Is it possible to program this function? We are setting up the entire booklet in InDesign and then converting it to a PDF. I'd be really thankful for any tips!Thanks Alexandra

Yes, it's easily done and doesn't require any scripting, actually.

All you have to do is copy the check-boxes from the original pages to the summary page and they'll automatically become selected as the user makes his/her selections on the other pages.
