Exporting to a PDF Form document

edited October 2013 in Devices
I'm trying to create an interactive catalog from a report.

The idea is to create a PDF form with checkboxes next to items a
customer could select. This PDF catalog could be then distributed.

Basically, each item in a table would have a checkbox and grouping would
respect mutual exclusivity.

Is this possible with RB- to at least create the form fields/checkboxes?

Or does this have to be done after the report is exported to a PDF?

TIA,

John

    Hi John,

    Form based PDF or "FDF" is currently not supported by the built-in PDF
    device. This is something we will consider adding for a later release
    of the product. Currently you would need to export the report and use a
    separate product such as Acrobat to add form fields.

    Best Regards,

    Fair enough.
    It would be an excellent feature!
    Thanks for the reply.
