Hello Masters

I have 12 PDF fillable forms. Now, I want to merge the forms as per customers requirements.

Like for example, suppose there are 3 customers, Customer 1 has 3 properties, Customer 2 has 1 Property, Customer 3 has 5 Properties.

I have a form for property. Now when delivering the form set to Customers, what I want is that I can deliver 1 PDF containing all the forms. So if I am sending the forms to Customer 1, it will create 1 PDF file by including the Property Forms 3 times, if I am, sending the forms to Customer No.2 via a 1 file, it will include 2 Copies of Property Forms and make 1 PDF file.

So I want to know a way where in a PDF File i can add / remove multiple instance of FORM in other PDF files. Also, its worth mentioning that, each form has FIELDS, so I want that the FIELDS must be RENAMED if there are multiple copies of a FORM in a single PDF, so that each FIELD can be filled separately and avoid duplication.

can it be DONE via Javascript ?? please guide !

Thanks
Zeeshan Hashmi

You would need to use the Acrobat JavaScript "templates" object that can create multiple copies of a form and rename the fields as a new page is spawned.

Thanks a lot sir , you are really the CHIEF in the world of Acrobat. Now i need some more suggestion from your good self.

Once the pages are added, now I want that the form will be SAVED so that it can be sent to the customers. BUT in the saved form, I dont want the ability to add the page. So that customer can get what he need. Is it possible ?
