Forms authoring and management
Acrobat 7.0 supports static forms and interactive forms. Interactive forms created with
Acrobat or with Adobe Designer, which is available with Acrobat Professional 7.0, let you
electronically fill in information, select choices, and digitally sign the document.
Adobe Designer lets you lay out a form from scratch, use a form template, or create a
fillable and interactive form based on an existing nonfillable form. More advanced
features in Designer let you use scripting, integrate a form with a data source, and create
dynamic forms. With Designer, you can more easily create accessible Adobe PDF forms
for assistive technology users, create HTML-based forms, change the tabbing order of
forms, and add tool tips.
With Designer, you can add interactive barcode form fields. Users can manually enter data
into a barcode form field, and the bars and characters of these fields change to encode the
data that the user entered into other form fields.
Users who have filled in forms created using Designer can then export the form data.
When you've collected form data in XML, XDP, or TXT format, you can export the data
to a spreadsheet.
