title: Interactive PDF with filtering capability
body: <p>I need to figure out a way to create an interactive PDF where output table will display values only related to filter chosen. </p>
  
  <p>Example: </p>
  
  <p>Filter: Country choice (U.S., Germany, France)</p>
  
  <p>Data table output when "U.S." is selected in the filter:</p>
  
  <pre><code>+-------+------+------+------+
  |  Ctry | Yr 1 | Yr 2 | Yr 3 |
  +-------+------+------+------+
  |  U.S. | $10M | $15M | $20M |
  +-------+------+------+------+
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Data table output when "Germany" is selected:</p>
  
  <pre><code>+-------+------+------+------+
  |  Ctry | Yr 1 | Yr 2 | Yr 3 |
  +-------+------+------+------+
  |Germany| $1M  | $1M  | $2M  |
  +-------+------+------+------+
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Main argument for not using Excel pivots - not all end users may have MS Office. 
  Storing every country report in a single PDF - report becomes too busy when there more than 10 countries.</p>
  
  <p>I got as far as finding some links on PDF with javascript, which may help accomplish the task, although not sure where to start.</p>
  
  <p>My main questions are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Can I create such interactive PDFs at all?</li>
  <li>Are there tools that can create PDFs like that with little coding effort (I am not a developer)?</li>
  <li>are there any tools/methods aside from Tableau that can help me create ready-to-use reports (even if not PDF)), but will allow similar user experience I described above.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
