Hiding Pages in Adobe Web Form

I have a PDF form that I want to turn into a web form. I only need certain parts of the form filled out depending on the choices a client makes early on in the form. For example, if the client answers "Yes" to "I own a business," the form will show a "Business Owner" page. Likewise, if the client answers "No" to that same question, the "Business Owner" page will be hidden. Is this possible with an Adobe Acrobat web form and, if so, how do I configure the web form to do this?

What do you mean by "Adobe Acrobat web form", exactly? This can be done in a regular PDF file, using Template objects and a script.

There is an option to create a web form on the Adobe Acrobat Online (acrobat.adobe.com) site. You can add a PDF that you've already created, and the service will turn the PDF into a web form (a form that can be accessed - read: the PDF is not downloaded, but appears on the screen in the web browser - via a website by clicking on a link). I am wondering if there is a way to hide pages using this service.

Based on your answer, I now have another question: If what I'm looking for can be done in a regular PDF file, will the Template objects and script carry over to the web form when I upload the PDF?

I highly doubt it. What you see on the web is not a PDF file at all, most likely, but a conversion of it to another format. PDF files can't be viewed without first being downloaded to the user's machine, even if only as a temporary file.
