Acrobat PDF and
Web-based Forms Becoming More Popular
Written by Ricardo Vidallon
There’s bad news for Parker, Cross and Bic. More
and more computer users are typing directly onto electronic
forms and foregoing the pen or pencil.
Many of you have seen this cool feature in Microsoft
Word documents or Acrobat
PDF forms. It allows for users to fill
out PDF forms right on their computer. For business this
saves time, money, and duplication of information and effort.
HTML Online Forms
Many web sites have some type of form to capture and process
information using a variety of mail form processing scripts.
A good example of an online form is the employment application.
However, web owners should be aware of lengthy or complex
forms that load slowly even over a high-speed connection.
PDF Online Forms
You should consider using a dynamic PDF form which can be
constructed to allow users to type their information directly
into the PDF. Once users access the form, you can provide
two options:
1) Allow users to save the PDF document to their computer
so they may complete it at a later time. Once the form is
completed they may email it back to you as an attachment
or print it out for faxing or mailing.
2) Require users to immediately complete the form. Once
the required data is filled in, users can click submit and
automatically attach the PDF as an out-going email without
any additional interaction by the sender.
Saving Time, Money and Resources
In some cases it is advantageous for a business to receive
important data in a formatted PDF form versus capturing data
via a web-based form. Good examples of when to use PDF forms
include: mortgage applications, employment forms, credit
applications, membership forms, and medical questionnaires.
Think of the time and resources that can be saved when a
perspective job applicant completes your multi-page online
form in its original form. It also removes the guess work
from having to decipher handwriting because ‘all penmanship
talents are not created equal’.
You can convert most PDF files into a PDF Form. However,
to do so, you’ll need to purchase and install a full
version of Adobe Acrobat. All you need is a little HTML know
how and a hosted web service account to get you started and
you’ll be on your way to becoming an Adobe Acrobat
Form Maker Pro!
