Hey every one. how are you this day?
Recently i asked for help finding an interactive pdf character sheet. as part of my search i saw an old thread in here talking about creating the perfect sheet. i contacted swooper (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?24190-Swooper), the guy who created the thread and was attempting to create his awesome sheet.
apparently he did make an awesome sheet, but the sheet is not interactive.
does any one know how to take a pdf and make it editable. for instance if i put a 20 in the strength score the sheet will automatically find al the spots where strength mod is used and put a +5 into said spot
if you have this knowledge would you be willing to make this 3.5 ultimate character sheet (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9318533/UltimateSheet%20v0%2C9.pdf) interactive? i have nothing to offer i was hoping you guys would make this interactive for free out of the goodness of fellow gamers
the only requirement is that swooper (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?24190-Swooper) wants to be mentioned in the credits if the sheet is used any where or edited and thats fine with me

It's possible using tools such as Adobe Acrobat, FreePDF or a few others.

But it's a lot of work to duplicate what has already been done via spread sheets so why re-invent the wheel ?

I don't think you appreciate how much work would be involved in such a project.

I don't think you appreciate how much work would be involved in such a project. i know its possible with adobe acrobat. i have adobe acrobat but i dont know how to do said project. i DO NOT like the feel of spread sheets the look of spread sheets or any thing about spread sheets please stop mentioning spread sheets as you are not helping at all i was asking for help on making it a fillable sheet that does the math and keeps it a pdf mentioning spread sheets takes the conversation off topic

im sure this is alot of work. but it would probally be more work to teach me how to convert a pdf to a fillable pdf. im willing to try to learn but that seems like a lot of extra work for whomever is willing to teach me
