Creating Forms

A big part of building HTML pages is creating forms for user input. This course will teach you the basics of client-side form development in HTML.

In this project-based Adobe Acrobat XI - Creating Forms video tutorial series, you'll quickly have relevant skills for real-world applications.

PDF forms are easier to design, distribute, and capture data than either web or print forms. Let Claudia McCue show you just how effortless PDF forms can be, in this Adobe Acrobat course. First, learn how to design a basic form in Word, Illustrator, or InDesign. Then Claudia shows you how to add interactive fields like check boxes, buttons, dropdown lists, and digital signature fields; how to add calculations that can total or average your data; and how to write some simple JavaScript that will unlock more advanced form functionality. Plus, learn how distribute your forms via email, on the web, or through Adobe's FormsCentral service.

Forms are a major component of modern websites, used to collect user data, conduct polls, and more.
