Question

Conditional number of repeated sections in acrobat form

I have an Acrobat form which includes a page of questions that need to be answered (using radio buttons) once or up to ten times.  Can I enter the number of times it is to be repeated, then only show that page that number of times?  I have tried to research this but without success.

Are you talking about showing the full page X times, or the radio-button fields? Either is possible, using a script, but the scripts needed for either one are quite different.

Thank you for your respone.  I would want the full page X times.  The form is a safety check list of 20 questions for home gas appliances (eg pass, fail), so a home may have 1 or up to 10, say, gas appliances. I can enter the number of appliances up front (eg 3), and then would the questions page to be completed three times, with the first question identifying the particular appliance followed by the 20 pass/fail questions.

Just to be clear in response to your question, the form has some general information (address etc) and then one of more pages of the appliance details and the 20 pass/fail questions for that appliance, with radio button responses, and then some concluding questions.
