Hello!

Is it possible to hide a specific page in a pdf document based on the action of a checkbox?

When the checkbox is enacted, I would like the page to appear. When not enacted, I would like the page to be hidden.

Thank you!

If the PDF is to be used only with Acrobat Pro or Standard, you can show/hide a template page.
If it is to be also used with Acrobat Reader, you need to spawn/delete a template page, as already indicated.
For the user, this changes nothing.

You can find all the scripts you need in this forum.

See that sample PDF, the script is inside the checkbox.

Thank you!

I created my template page but my head exploded on spawning. What resources do you recommend? Videos are great as I am more visual but I will take anything!

You can spawn a hidden template page and delete the spawned page.
