Creating a multi-level form in a single form file in Adobe Acrobat Standard 9

[randomdoctor]

I am trying to create a form that my front desk may use to enter information. Is there a way to add categories to a drop-down list where if X category gets selected in the drop-down list, a set form appears that is only connected to the X category? Same with any number of categories in the drop-down list. I know how to create a drop-down list, but how do I go about creating a multi-forms in one Form based on the category selected in a drop-down list. Any tutorial, videos, articles to help me with this is greatly appreciated. Please note I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 on my office computer and I have Adobe Acrobat DC on my home computer.

Hi,

I think you want to look at the template object, as this would allow you to create/show a new page based of the selection in the dropdown.

The basic set up would be to have a template for each of the options in the dropdown and then when it is selected you show the template the relates to that option.

the template object is described in this document.

You cannot do that with Acrobat 9 Standard, you must use Acrobat Pro DC.
