    Interactive PDF Question

      Hi all,
      I'm trying to create an interactive pdf using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

       

      I'm trying to create either through buttons or a drop down list, items when selected reveal other information.

       

      If I use sandwiches as an example, I want the pdf to display the sandwich names like this

       

      Egg Mayo
      Tuna Sweetcorn
      Cheese & Onion

       

      I want it to be that when you click on the sandwich option a text field appears which shows the nutritionanl information etc for that sandwich.

       

      I know you can do it with the show/hide option but this way you have to leave a lot of blank space and does not look very professional for the end user.

       

      Any suggestions?

          If you mean that you want to "re-flow" the document when a selection is

          made, it's not possible, unless the entire contents of the file is located

          in form fields. The other option is to create a dynamic form using

          LiveCycle Designer, but that's a whole other story.
