Lesson 8. Creating Forms

Acrobat lets you create formfields that can be filled out by a user in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. If all the proper software and hardware components are in place, form data can be submitted over the World Wide Web and collected in a database just like HTML forms. In this lesson, you'll fill out form fields, create them, and learn about submitting forms over the Web.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to do the following:

• Fill out a PDF form.

• Export form data.

• Import form data.

• Add form fields, and format those fields.

• Use the forms grid.

• Validate form fields to restrict entries to specific values or characters.

• Perform mathematical calculations on two or more numeric form fields.
