Dynamic Forms (I think)

New Here ,
May 02, 2018 May 02, 2018

Hi All


Please could you advise what Adobe product(s) I need to purchase to create forms with sections that display/hide based on previous responses?  When completed, only the displayed (filled in) sections to be printed.

Thank you

Julie

This needs a different type of PDF form called an XFA form, made with the product LiveCycle Reader Extensions. Because these do not work in any browser or mobile device, it is very hard to suggest it is a good idea. I believe this idea is dead now.

You can show/hide sections in a PDF form created in Acrobat, too, but when they are hidden it will just be empty space on the page.

Alternatively, you can show/hide entire pages, using something called a Template object.
