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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Patterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 2:10 PM Subject: Re: [PDF-Forms] Script generation of simulated tables > > PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ > __________________________________________________________________ > > Currently, MS Word documents are being used as forms for data > transfer. > > A cell matrix is generated using Word Visual Basic.
