Acrobat PDF Form Design Inquiry
If done properly using a combination of form fields, scripts, and arrays, is it possible to design an interactive PDF form to collect as well as display the data collected employing the same set of fields on the form or would it normally require two pages or two separate groups of form fields on the same page, namely one group or interface to add|collect the data and another to present it? Moreover, the form fields or interface used to present the data would act as a lookup based on a selection provided by a combo box. I hope this explanation is clear enough to solicit a 'yes' or 'no' answer. In essence, what I would like to do is to create a password manager that isn't contingent on generating a page for each name added to the form. For example, years ago I created a password manager using Acrobat whereby each and every name, vendor, website, etc. added to the form generated an additional page associated with a bookmark. Needless to say, performance suffered as names were added over time especially as the number of pages increased close to 100. This noted, in creating a new password manager, my idea is to eliminate the need to add pages and generate bookmarks by using arrays to collect, store, and display the data using a 1-2 page PDF form. What are your thoughts if any regarding this subject matter? Thank you ahead of time.
