I want to be able to automate pdf reporting through excel

I have an excel spreadsheet that has hundreds of job tasks. Right now I export that page to a .pdf that is viewed on an ipad. the ipad user puts check marks daily onto the pdf and then emails it back. This is basically a daily progress report. I then take the check marks, convert them to dates of completion, and upload the new pdf to replace the previous one.

I have dozens of users and implementing this across the board requires a lot of manual work. I would like to automate the process.

How do you propose automating the process? Are you loading the PDF into a program? There is insufficient detail here ... in fact you haven't asked a technical question to which we can give a "quick answer"

Sound such a lo-tech... Without knowing the purpose of all these and the prerequisite, it's hard to advise something certain. I would try to avoid both PDF and Office by all means... :-)
