I am looking at replacing MS Excel across a large number of calculator apps in my enterprise.

On the whole Adobe PDF forms look like they can cover the functionality needed, except I am not sure if it can cater for the graphing/charting capabilities required.

Is it possible to generate pie charts and/or line graphs in Adobe Form PDF's that are generated (not static)? If so can someone point me to some samples it would be great as I havent seen any from the searching I've done so far.

Thanks!

In one word: No.

In more than one word: Probably yes, but that would be *extremely* complicated and probably not worth the time spent on it. I would suggest an alternative such as OpenOffice, which has an Excel-like application in it.
