Creating a journal type entry form

[Information32260276bgjf]

Good afternoon.

I am needing to create a journal/log style form in Adobe.  Ideally when you open the pdf it would automatically have a line ready to enter in a log entry (the entry line would have a date/time field auto populated, uneditble, then next to it a text field for entering the log entry.  Once you hit enter, or even a complete button, a new entry line would appear, that would have the new date/time, and a new blank text field, and so and so forth.  All previous entires would remain visible on the form.

Is this doable in a pdf document?

It is, but it's not easy to implement. You can't add individual fields each time you open the file. You create them in advance in a Template page, hide them and then show when needed. When a new page is required you spawn a new copy of the entire page, hide the fields, etc. All of this will require a custom-made script to be written.

Thanks, i am a complete beginner with this, so i am assuming the script would be complicated enough to be outside of my abilities.
