I'm not sure what you mean, exactly, but you can certainly insert various logic into a PDF form, using JavaScript.

Ah, you're talking about a FC form. That's a completely different beast and you should ask about it over at the FormsCentral forums.

It seems you cannot use branching or skip logic in a PDF form, and this is unfortunately required for this form. I am working for the first time in FormsCentral.

Are you creating it in Acrobat? If so, go to View - Show/Hide - Rulers&Grids and make sure "Snap to Grid" is not ticked.

Thanks, but when I try this, the checkbox will only appear to the left of the image or of the table. What am I doing wrong?

You can place form fields over anything you'd like... They do not interact

with the static content of the file underneath them.

My client wants one of the questions on a form to look like this:

Picture a table with two columns and five rows. Inside each cell of the table is some text. The user checks a checkbox that is somehow overlaid over the table cell or perhaps sits to the right or left of it.

Is this possible in Adobe Forms?

Thanks!
