Acrobat DC - Creating Interactive Forms in pdf

Introduction

Electronic forms have clear advantages over standard paper forms. Not only can they can be made available to users online or distributed via email, but they can include interactive functionality that makes them easier and more reliable to use.

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, you can create interactive forms that users can fill in and submit as a complete form, or, you can just collect the data that the users fill in. Acrobat Pro DC also allows you to build in added functionality, such as data validation, automatic calculation of numbers, and exporting of values to a database.
