Hello,

I am a bit of a beginner, and I was wonderingif someone can help. What would be the best way to convert a small excel spreadsheet with simple formulas (sums and multiplications) into a dynamic pdf form?

Do I have to use a program like LiveCycle, or can I just do it with Acrobat Pro?

Thank You

You can accomplish this with both Acrobat and Designer, but realized that the formulas you've set up in Excel will not work with either. In Acrobat, you'd use JavaScript for the calculations. In Designer, you can use either JavaScript or FormCalc. It's difficult to be more helpful without knowing more about the spreadsheet and how it will be used.
