Issue Accessing All Content in a PDF Form with Dynamic Dependencies

Question

Hello everyone,I am currently working on an interactive PDF form that was created by someone else, and I am having trouble accessing all of its content. It is a complex form with fields and pages that appear or hide based on the answers provided.I know that the person who created the form was able to access all the content without using code, but I am unable to do the same. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro to try to display all fields and understand the logic of the form, but some fields and pages remain hidden or disabled.My question is: How can I view all hidden questions and pages in the form?Thank you in advance for your help!

To view hidden pages ("templates"), search Templates in the Tools Search (with new Acrobat disabled), then click Page Templates.  You should see a list of templates with check boxes to the left.  If any of those boxes aren't check, the template pages are hidden.  You can display them by checking the boxes.  You should be able to see all of the field in the fields panel when you are in form editing mode.  There might also be document level scripts that you can access by searching "JavaScript" in the tools search and selecting "Document JavaScripts".  Exercise caution when modifying a complex form that you didn't create, as their could be unintended consequences to functionality, and keep a copy of the original.
