Hello All:
I would like to create a fillable PDF form that has dynamic checkboxes. What I mean by this is:
For example, there is a section of the form with 6 categories, each with a checkbox. When a box is checked, a new section would appear which corresponds to that box. 3 boxes checked, 3 sections appear. 6 boxes checked, 6 sections appear. Different combinations of box selections can be made, but only those sections appear that have boxes checked, and they would appear in order, say section 2, 3 and 5 for boxes 2, 3 and 5.
And, it gets more complicated: Each section that appears would have checkboxes within as well.
I know one can do this in Acrobat by using hidden fields, but with all the different possible combinations of box selections that can be made, this would be very time consuming and messy.
Can and should this be done in LiveCycle Designer? I am new to this software.
I hope my question is not too confusing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
It will require saving the form as a dynamic interactive form so it can change as check boxes are checked and unchecked. And it will require the use of sub forms that can be hidden from the layout until called for by some JavaScripts.
The main sub form on the page will need to be set to "Flowed" and any of the other sub forms placed inside this one will be either set to "Positioned" or "Flowed" depending on how they are to act in the form ie. change or stay static.
