Newbie...large form, repeated fields, separate output

Question

Apologies in advance for being the newbie.  I'm great with programming MS, not done any in Adobe, and I suspect the answer to this is going to be that it'll require scripting.
I have a need to process a large batch of mixed typed of paper:
forms filled in by hand, with address/other info
checks (images of checks)
forms that have been pre-printed with information
These will all be one large continuous set of pages (will start as a video file of these getting imaged, then someone will create snapshots of the points in the video where each page is laid under a camera, then the snapshots will be combined into one pdf, which represents all documents that got processed).
I then need someone to have the ability to do the following, as they go through the pages in Acrobat:
- depending on the type of image they see (hand form, check images, printed form), click a shortcut, which will create a predetermined set of form fields, in a predetermined place on the screen (effectively layered onto the image).  These form fields will be set up to correlate to the type of image (a hand form will have X number of fields, which allow for address, checkboxes, etc....a check image will have Y number of fields which are address and amount...and so forth)
- they will then do one of the following:
          have a dropdown, which is fed by some DB (don't know if it is supposed to reside in Adobe somewhere, or can be looking into an Excel/Access, or how this might be done).  They will select from an ID number that the image they're processing needs to tie to (again, ID numbers are already determined in a system elsewhere...this exercise is tying form/check information to that ID number)
          fill in the appropriate fields if it is check or handwritten form
          have the fields for a pre-printed form (which means that the person's information is already in the system, and they printed the form up before submitting it in person) populate the fields in Adobe...so there are X number of fields...in our system we have the information to fill them...based on the lookup that happens in the dropdown, the values that would populate name/address/etc need to also come back and populate the set of fields in that page
          use then just verifies what's on the screen matches the form, or edits as necessary
all fields then need to output into a structured Excel file (this part I've done with Adobe before, so I am aware of how to do this).
How much of the above is reasonably simple, for someone who knows scripting?  Anything sound like it's simply not possible?  I'm trying to gauge whether this idea has legs.  Thanks.

Answer 1

Thanks Jimmy, I read through a few other posts on the forum about vaguely related results and found the problem.
It seems that when i had copied and pasted a bound subform containing data and then changed the binding on the outer subform, the actual binding on the controls hadn't changed (despite seeming to have done so in designer). When i went into the XML source and manually changed these, the problem seems to have cleared up.
But thanks anyway :)
