Hello,

I am trying to create a tool that will take user inputs like the ones on the first page below; based on those inputs a title page will be created and a PDF spec sheet will be inserted from a specified folder. See example output on the following pages. I understand that this will involve writing a JavaScript but I am not sure where to begin. Thanks

    Yes, this will require a complex, custom-made tool. Basically you would create a file to collect the user's input and a template page that will be populated with that data when they click on Create. In addition it seems that you want to include a specific image based on the Machine Model they enter, so that will have to be set up as well, and of course the files will have to be locally available to each user on their computer (or in a shared network folder). All of that will have to be backed by a script that's installed on the user's local machine.

    If you're interested in hiring someone who has done similar things in the past to create it for you, feel free to contact me privately at try6767 at gmail.com.
