Create a Form Using Acrobat Professional
Reader Level:

Acrobat can do a lot more then create and open PDFs. In this tutorial we will look at Acrobat Professional's form tools. Using a plain PDF we will create a data entry form.

Acrobat Professional's form tools allow for the creation of several different types of fields including text fields, item lists, check boxes, radio buttons and buttons. Actions and scripts can also be added to forms enabling a wide variety of tasks to be performed with one click. We will use some of these features to create a form that can be used for entering data, we will then demonstrate how this data can be exported for use in another application or PDF.
