This course, designed for novice to experienced Acrobat users, walks you through the entire PDF form creation process from start to finish using Acrobat DC. We begin by learning about the stages of form design and the importance of form standards and usability. We then move on to customizing the interface to speed up form creation. The course then takes a deep dive into the various form fields available within Acrobat as we use them within PDF forms. Acrobat accessibility features are covered to make your forms available to users with screen readers. Once the PDF forms are created, this course provides an overview of how to use JavaScript to go beyond what Acrobat can do to auto-populate date fields, validate email addresses and more. The course closes by working through the form distribution process built into Acrobat. This course walks you through how to create PDF forms quickly and easily using Adobe Acrobat DC.
