Creating Forms

by rgoers . Updated 19 years, 7 months ago

I have a specific client who needs some fillable forms created.

I recreated the forms in MS Publisher, and printed them to PDF. I was going to use Adobe’s Form Designer (Acrobat 7 Pro) to insert the fields. Little did I know… the filled forms would NOT be savable when using Adobe Reader. That stinks! They are definitely going to want to save (and reuse) partially-filled forms.

Anybody have any good recommendations for a quick and easy way to create (less than 50) custom forms that are fillable and save-able? This is for an electrical contractor. Most of the users are less than computer saavy, so these need to be fairly dummy-proof. They are going to want to print forms on-site, and also either email/fax/mail originals back to the main office. They would also like to be able to view filled forms remotely.

I was considering using ScanSoft’s PaperPort, but that might be too complex for users to navigate (though it would have a very good document organization engine associated with it).

Anyone???
