Hello there everyone! I hope someone out there can help me.
FYI I am new to Adobe and well, I don't know all the lingo. So truly do bear with me.
I currently use Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017. I know how to create the basic buttons eg. print, save, go to etc.
I am trying to create a fillable PDF form for folks.
What I need to do is create a button that will delete or add a row. So I would like the rows above with the yes no to be added. then removed if I accidentally added them. I am not sure if Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 is the program that will work. I know Livecycle is no longer. Would Adobe Acrobat Pro DC be any different? Please do help. Thanks group!

Hi there
Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you want to add the button to PDF form to add and delete the rows
The option to add/delete the rows in a PDF form is not yet available in Adobe Acrobat DC. You may submit your request with the engineering team using the link - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Thanks Amal,
But what do I need to do to get a button that allows me to add rows?

If Adobe Acrobat DC doesn't have the option, which program of Adobe would let me to add rows as per my original request. Can someone help me please?

The product that will allow you to create such dynamic XFA forms is Adobe Experience Manager Forms Designer. Is was formerly called LiveCycle Designer. More info: https://helpx.adobe.com/support/adobe-livecycle-end-of-core-support.html

Forgot to mention, someone had forwarded me a form that does this as a sample of what they were looking for. Add a row, remove a row feature. I tried to edit in Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 and the message I get is that LiveCycle Designer was used.
Since I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 it won't work
What program from ADobe would work since LiveCycle designer isn't any longer availble. I see there is something called experience manager for Adobe but will it allow for addition of rows with an add button?
if so anyone have info on how that is done eg. step by step instructions?

Yes, you can do it using that application. For more questions about it use this forum:

This is doable using Acrobat Pro and JavaScript but it's useless since page dimensions are immovable (unlike in XFA forms), which makes necessary to reserve empty spaces for the added rows.

Your needs seem simple, but they are close to impossible, especially if you are not already a very experienced Acrobat scripter. This is a limitation of PDF forms in general, not of the app. Perhaps PDF forms are not the right solution for you.
