<a href=http://www.adobe.com>Adobe</a> just released <a href=http://www.adobe.com/acrobat>Acrobat 7</a>. <a href=http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/main.html>Acrobat Pro</a> includes the <a href=http://www.adobe.com/products/server/adobedesigner/overview.html>form designer</a>, which is what I work on now. <p> I cooked up a form to try it out, and put it online. Acrobat 7 supports allowing Reader to submit forms via email, or by saving the XML to disk. It also lets you sign and certify documents.<p> So if you click <a href=http://www.stevex.org/emailsteve.pdf>here</a>, you'll get a PDF that you can use to send me an email. It's signed by me on my own computer using a key I generated myself in Acrobat, so Reader or Acrobat (whichever you use to read it) should tell you not to trust me. :)<p> I didn't try it in any version of Reader before Reader 7, so I don't know what will happen if you open it there.<p> If you type some stuff into the form and save it, you can see the XML it generates. This is cool - you can have forms that make SOAP calls when you Submit, which can make PDF an interesting UI in front of a web service.<p> This is all pretty new to me.Thu, 01 Sep 2005 19:17:08 GMT
