Expanding tables with calculating form fields?

Yes, it's possible but, unless you can hold this table in another document the macro always has access to, it's not a trivial undertaking; it would require writing code to create, populate and format the table from scratch, which could get quite involved if you're going to start adding formfields, etc.

Scratch that. I figured out an alternative. I have checklists with YES, NO, N/A. I made it so that when a checkbox is true it'll automatically fill the checklists' N/A boxes.
This was one of the things I think I've seen in an Adobe PDF. I originally asked if it would be easier to use Acrobat to make this form. What I didn't realize is that for dynamic forms LiveCycle Designer is used. I know you can hide tables.
