Add/Delete row button in Acrobat Pro DC

Hello Neda,

I am having  what seems to be the same issue as yours. I have adobe acrobat pro and need the end user to be able to add/delete rows as needed. Have you found a solution? or found another tool that has this capaiblity? 

Thanks! 

It is in fact possible to add and remove rows in an interactive PDF.

It would require fairly complex Javascript, and, to add any extra pages, you'd need to use Acrobat template pages, since Acrobat Javascript doesn't have sufficient permissions to add pages to a PDF otherwise.

Also, to shift everything down means that all text in the form, including static text, would have to be constructed as a text field, whether editable or not.

So, altogether a bit of a hassle to program and debug, but it is probably doable in many cases.

Certainly it would be better if the expanding table could be placed at the end of the form.

I can see from your posting history that you found a thread about Livecycle Designer, which was a tool one could use to make PDFs with all kinds of inbuilt intreactivity. One of the things I did in that app on a regular basis was to make tables to which the end user could easily add or remove rows. For instance, a "List all of your family members here" might have three default fields, but in Livecycle, the end user could add as many fields as necessary and the rest of the document (if build correctly) would reflow.

I know of no way whatsoever to do this with Acrobat or InDesign, or really even with Word (although a user of a locked Word form with form fields in tables can, I think, add rows with the Tab key). 

How does this pertain to InDesign? This is the InDesign forum. Why can't you add/remove rows in Word?
