You could interactively ask questions while running latex, but most people these days run tex in the background from their editor so interaction is not possible. Alternatively you could in theory generate a pdf with interactive form implemented but not all pdf viewers support that. | |

But this is unlikely to work properly in all PDF viewers, so unless you know what people are using, you are going to have issues. I'm not sure whether choice menus work properly in all viewers, for example. Certainly radio buttons etc. do not. | |

You want to look at hyperref. But ... this is not something you want to try if you are new to LaTeX imho. Forms support is patchy in my experience and it is made worse by the fact that you can't easily predict what different PDF viewers will do. So it is hard to tell if you're doing something wrong, hyperref is doing something wrong or the PDF is fine but your PDF viewer is doing something wrong. You don't want this as your first experience of LaTeX.
