The design of a clear, printable form is only the start of getting the data that you need. Making an electronic version of that form—one that's easy to post on the web or transmit via email—is the key to gathering data quickly. Intended for intermediate designers, this course looks at everything from building a future-proof PDF to adding interactive fields like signatures and combo boxes with InDesign, to finalizing and distributing your form with Acrobat Pro. Author and award-winning designer Michael Murphy will make sure your forms work equally well on paper as they do as PDFs, while troubleshooting tricky PDF issues like permissions.

Topics include:

* Designing hybrid (print/PDF) forms

* Working with styles

* Creating text fields

* Adding check boxes and buttons

* Using button actions to present contextual options

* Exporting and distributing a PDF form
