Add Form buttons to existing document to only show desired sections

Is it possible to use a Form Radio Button or check box to hide unnecessary portions of a document based on which button or box is checked? I have a 40 page document that covers 16 topics. I would like to have a form at the top of the document where a user can select which topic they want to see and then only that topic is shown.

Yes, but it's not easy to set up. You can hide sections of a page by putting a white-filled form field on top of it, but then you'll just have empty blank areas in your file when those sections are hidden. Doing so requires using a simple script.

Or you could show/hide entire pages, but that requires a more complex script and the use of Template objects.
