compilazione pdf

Hello everyone, having to create a pdf file to compileable fields I decided to use adobe acrobat.
what I would like to do is not only limited to the simple hand completion of the various fields, but given a drop-down menu from which you can choose certain values, can automatically complete other cells according to the value selected in the drop-down menu.
Do you think that's possible? If yes, would you tell me how to do it?
I'm not sure that acrobat can really allow me to do this kind of operation, in case you couldn't, there are some software that can help me?

thank you in advance for your help!
 
but if I'm not mistaken with excel I would simply create a table, my intention was to "auto-compil" a module.
I explain better: I have a pdf form to fill in and print. ..for these fields are often repetitive and I would like to avoid having to write to the user several times the same thing...so once the requested data is inserted, it "self-inserts" in the next fields in which it is requested again.
Thanks again for the help :smile:
 
But now that I think about it well probably by joining cells on excel you could give it a form form module style:biggrin:
 
- in excel there are the data fields that are drop-down menus with a list of data that can be inserted a priori or obtained from a specific column/rega.
- in excel there is automatic completion that keeps track of the data inserted in the column/riga and when it finds a unique correspondence (if there is only one word with a, abacus, when inserting the letter to it immediately proposes; If you have two words with a, abac and hammock, you have to insert two letters to give it input; and so on)
 
I knew it, but sincerely I had not really thought about the development of this project via excel... Thank you very much again. very helpful!
 
Plus in excel you can block the cells that the user must not change at all. for example colors in light yellow everything you can edit or edit with drop-down menu. then I think the game is done.

let us know, maybe post the file without sensitive data....
 
if you do it in excel, you have the power of formulas, calculations etc.
if you don't care but simply compile the values between lists and check with the xs of the boxes, I suggest you use openoffice that is free and makes you do with the specific tool all the forms to fill out. then expire in pdf and magically the pdf is editable in the boxes you set.
 
in the link I posted there is the description of how to use openoffice to get that result
 
You don't have to apologize, I actually put the link without specifying that it was talking about openoffice.
 
open office clasp for this. it will also be free but unfortunately it is not functional as excel, which instead seems to me the best choice in this case.
