How to insert a page dynamically into a form

[bscivolette1]

Good Morning,

We've used LiveCycle to create a very intricate work order for our service company. Although most work orders we create don't need additional documents (aside from the form itself), some do. For example, we may want to add a PDF coversheet to work orders for certain commercial accounts that have special billing instructions. At this time we will add pages to an existing work order through the following process:

1. Enter all data into the LiveCycle form
2. Print the form to PDF and save
3. Use the "Insert Page" feature to add the necessary page (these pages are templated for continuous use)
4. Resave the document

My goal is to find a solution that would allow the user to dynamically select/add the necessary pages to the work order during step one (entering data into the form). Then, when we print the work order to PDF the printed copy would include both the work order and whatever page was added. I hope my explanation makes sense. Is this possible in LiveCycle?

If your form is a dynamic PDF then adding or removing pages is not going to happen within Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader. I am pretty sure you can only modify the layout of an XFA Livecycle PDF within Livecycle. However what I have done in the past is add in the necessary pages that a user may want, hide the pages from the layout and then with a button click or some other type of control, show the pages. Hope I am understanding you right.
