Bon giorno!

I want to make a PDF form for battery tests and it should include a line chart. There are four values are measures in three runs, so i want to display the change in values over time in a chart with 3 bars or lines or whatever. Is that possible with Adobe Acrobat?

Thank you

I've created similar things in the past. It's quite complicated and requires manipulating the location of multiple line comments using a custom-made script.

If you're interested in hiring someone to develop it for you feel free to contact me via [try6767 at gmail.com] to discuss it further, including the price.

Hi,

Acrobat doesn't have that built in, would probably be best to build it elsewhere, a spreadsheet program perhaps, and then turn that into an PDF ( this could probably be automated).

There may be a way with Acrobat JavaScript to make something that looks like a chart, but I think it would be tough to do and prone to problems.

May be possible when you use the comment drawing objects.

I did not find any object in the comment section, nore in the edit section. Any advice how to use the drawing objects and linking them interactively to the values in the text fields?
