- [Voiceover] Hello, I'm Claudia McCue, and together we're going to explore Acrobat forms. Now, it might seem a little bit odd, I actually think Acrobat forms are fun. I think you're gonna find that it's easier than you might think to bring a static page to life by adding text fields, radio buttons, drop-down lists, clickable buttons, calculations and more. And I think you'll be surprised by how much you can do with Acrobat's built-in form tools, without ever writing any code. Now, whether you wanna use a form to solicit sign-ups for a user group, or get information from attendees for a seminar, or take orders for products, or something else, Acrobat XI Pro gives you a really rich set of tools for creating forms.
In this course, you'll see that you can distribute your Acrobat forms as e-mail attachments, host them on your own Intranet or a website, or distribute them through Adobe's own FormsCentral. And, you have multiple options for capturing the data that's entered in to those forms. Come on, and let's go find out just how easy it is to create great interactive forms in Acrobat XI Pro.
Q: Forms Central is mentioned in the course but not covered. Why not?
A: Adobe decided to discontinue the feature, so we removed coverage of it from this course.
