Collect Information Online With Interactive Acrobat Forms

If you create and process forms - such as applications, order forms, or requests for information - Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) 4.0 can make your job much simpler. With Acrobat software, not only can you design forms in your favorite applications and easily convert them to compact, cross-platform Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files, but you can make them live, dynamic documents that anyone with Acrobat or the free Acrobat Reader can fill out and return online.
 
Edit and enhance forms
Once you've converted your paper or electronic forms to PDF with their original look intact, enhancing them is easy. Use the convenient layout grid to align form fields. Select multiple fields; edit their text size, color, and fonts; and cut and paste fields within and among documents. Drop in or embed PDF graphics to reinforce your corporate identity. With built-in JavaScript(TM) capabilities, you can even make your forms more interactive by creating fields that automatically verify, reformat, and calculate data as they are filled in.

Easily create interactive electronic forms that reinforce your corporate image and look identical in print or online.

Personalize publishing
Acrobat forms can also act as an interface to database systems, enabling you to create one-to-one marketing materials such as direct mail or database queries tailored just for your users. With dynamic page templates, you can create forms that automatically expand to accommodate varying amounts of input, and then prompt delivery of customized catalogs, brochures, and other publications generated on the fly directly to your users' desktops.

Integrate with Web sites and databases
Acrobat forms can be viewed with Netscape Navigator(R) and Microsoft(R) Internet Explorer. They also work with standard Web server CGI scripts, so you can replace HTML forms with Acrobat forms with little or no change to existing scripts. And with third-party database software and the Acrobat Forms Data Format (FDF) Toolkit, you can link your Acrobat forms to your database systems.
