There is a technique for manually creating a matrix of fillabel fields. This
is described in the Acrobat Help (5.0.5), section 'Creating Form Tables',
page 156. I don't know if there is a corresponding Javascript function to do
this programmatically. It is certainly possible to create fields using
Javascript, so I suppose it could easily be extended by using arrays.
