Allowing user to add/ insert text boxes.

Community Beginner ,

I want to create a fillable PDF where I dont know exactly how many Text boxes I need to be able to document an individuals medication. One person may have three medications while another person may have more than 20. Do I have to have the maximum for all or can text boxes be added individually?  See sample.

You can create a page with X amount of fields and then convert it to a Template so that new copies of it can be spawned when needed.

You will need to use the Page Templates command in Acrobat to create the Template object, and then a script to spawn copies from it.

See this thread, for example: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/need-help-spawning-template/m-p/14223433#M438171
