How to create acrobat forms from data

[John]

Hi

I am very new to PDF forms. I am currently generating paper forms from data
using reporting facilities in MS Access, vb.net apps etc. I am now required
to turn these reports into PDF forms that can be sent via email to clients
who can then fill in the remaining fields not filled-in in the first place
at form creation.

How do I proceed from here? What technologies do I need and how to use them
to cerate such forms?

Thanks

You will first need a PDF form generator that can be emailed, and can be
written to with VBA code. There are only a few that might have that
capability. I'd first try Foxit software:

and Win2pdf

http://www.win2pdf.com

both of which are much cheaper and orders of magnitude faster than Adobe
Acrobat. If you cannot find something at those 2, search for others before
trying Adobe, if money and speed are an issue.

You can do this from Office 2007 using this add-in, without the need for
Adobe or any other pdf creator.
