Once Ive created and distributed a PDF form and users have returned it completed, how do I gather the information submitted on it?

0

A. Acrobat acts as an interface to database systems. Acrobat Forms work with Web servers via standard Web server CGI scripts. In fact, a PDF form can replace an HTML form with little or no change to existing scripts. Using the Acrobat Forms Data Format (FDF) toolkit, you can enable data communications between a form and a Web server. Your Webmaster or IT staff should be able to write CGI scripts that populate your database with form data and vice versa.
