Best practices for using forms
Refer to Doug Robbins Its says all about creatin form.
But let me tell you, if you want to create a form then it is ok. But creating a form in Adobe Acrobat is recommendable, because you can work offline, Add few more pages to your document and then upload them again. The main reason form are not to be filled online. It has to has help us ofline line too. You need not have to be persistentently connected to the network everytime. You have to progressively fill your document at leisure and not one time.

I'm skilled at using the graphics and I know about the Forms Toolbar, etc; I'm a veteran user, but not a veteran form maker. But, I'm hoping to draw on the experience of some pro's in this area; I would like to know best practices and best methods for design. i.e. Do I use a table and snap the controls into the cells; should I design a graphical form that displays when the file is opened that contains the data (will it even retain the info after the file is closed and reopened?), etc. What is the best approach? Right now I'm leaning toward an in-document form that is table based. Is there a way to make the controls/graphics snap to the table cells? If so, how? Thanks in advance for your assistance. |
