I would like to create a "main form" and on the main form have buttons that link to additional forms. So far my efforts haven't worked.

You can create a main form with buttons that open additional forms using a programming language like C# or Python with Tkinter. In C#, you can use Button.Click event handlers to open new forms with Form.Show(). In Python, use Tkinter to create buttons that trigger the opening of new windows. If you're facing specific issues, let me know!

This will not work in a PDF form.

I created a sample "main" form - and three supplementary forms - in Illustrator, saved as a PDF. In Adobe Acrobat DC I opened the main form, turned it into a fillable form, and added the three required links. Then I sent it to myself and a friend to test and it didn't work.

Can you share the file with us?

How did you create the links?

Where did you open the file when you tested it?

What does "it didn't work" mean, exactly?
