Perhaps I will, if I'm ever working in FrameMaker again. I've become a bit of a DITA specialist lately, and at a past job we even made specializations to create form elements in the XML and render them with an ANT argument (or not). That let us use a single map for a procedure and its associated checklist, which only showed top-level steps with "Done" or "N/A" radio buttons and, occasionally, text fields or other sub-fields. The checklist also had a "Show step details" or "Show screen example" cross-links to the full procedure PDF. Very slick once it all was working.
BUT this is all orthogonal to the main point, which was "how and why" add PDF content to a FM-source document. I was just spitballing ideas for Laura as I had some free time, because I find advanced/theoretical discussions interesting. Have a great week!

He does say that he can provide custom solutions, so it may be worthwhile to contact him and ask both about the Forms Assistant capabilities and whether creating dynamic forms is possible with his tool. Be pretty cool if you could! :) References 1. mailto:ljsims...@gmail.com 2. mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
