Creating, distributing and collecting data from PDF forms

Tim Plumer, Adobe senior solutions engineer in Education Sales, shows you how to create, distribute and collect data from a PDF form. Starting with a "flat" PDF form, you'll learn how to add fields and distribute the form to recipients in Adobe Reader. Finally, returned form data may be imported, filtered and analyzed and the data exported to an Excel spreadsheet.

PDF Form via Email

Is it possible in Acrobat 9 Professional to create a PDF form to place on a company intranet that will allow users to click on an email button and have the completed form be sent to an email address instead of Adobe.com or Acrobat.com?

Import/ export Data in reader

I have a PDF with fields and menu selections a user will access, select, and enter their data. Is it possible that the user can SAVE this data and then import it again to the form?

Please let me know as I running short of time.
