Hi,

we have an Excel file that is used by a group of defined users. Now we would like to publish this file for many users - if possible as PDF.

In Excel the users sort and filter the rows. We need this functionality in the published file as well. Is there a way to create a sortable and filterable table in the PDF file with Java Script?

Thanks for your answers!
Anne

Acrobat Pro comes with a tool called LiveCycle Designer which allows you to create dynamic tables.
I'm not sure if it has built-in filtering and sorting functionalities, though.
I think that if you want the users to be able to manipulate the files in such an advanced way, you're better off sticking with Excel.
