    If this document is for internal company use, presumably you'll know which devices will be used and you can specify which version of Acrobat Reader must be used. This info will be very useful in establishing how far you can go with this interactive PDF.

    Like BobLevine​ said there is much more to this than what i mentioned. Take a look at the options i took screenshots of, play with them and if you are still unsure about something reach out. Happy to help further and hope this at least gets you in the correct road.

    NOW WER ARE COOKING WITH GAS!!

    Sounds to me like you want to make text fields can fill, radio buttons and a cancel and submit button

    Please change your workspace to the interactive .pdf one. from there open the buttons and forms panel. it is here that all the goodies you are looking for live. You can create shapes and five them the "clear form" or "submit form" actions.

    See below for screenshots. this is as general i can get to answer your questions. how this helps.

    you will benefit a lot from watching these tutorials on creating interactive forms:

      Hello,

      I'm trying to create a 3-4 page Interactive PDF for handling project

      requests where based on your choices from the first two pages you will be

      taken to the correct Process Flow / Functional mailbox.

      Below is the first 'rough draft' page 1 where the requester will input

      their information. I'm having trouble with the Full Name / User ID / Dow

      email address boxes. I want them to be text so you can manually type into

      them. Also, I would like to have the section below able to where you can

      choose 1 - 3 selections based on the check marks. And lastly have the

      Cancel & Submit button work properly.

      Like I stated, I'm brand new at using this Software and need some

      assistance. Thanks in advance for the help! Its much appreciated!

      Best,

      John
