Creating, Distributing and Collecting Data from PDF Forms

Acrobat 9 takes forms authoring to a whole new level and, surprisingly, it is both easier and more powerful.

Adobe's Tim Plumer shows you how to created, distribute and collect data from a PDF form. Starting only with a "flat" PDF, form fields are added and the form may be distributed to many recipients to fill out in the free Adobe Reader.

Finally, the returned form data may be imported, filtered and analyzed and the data exported to an Excel spreadsheet.
