How to distribute forms and analyze results
Ali Hanyaloglu – September 7, 2012
Figuring out how to distribute forms, and then collect and analyze the data can be challenging. With the new Adobe FormsCentral Desktop app included with Acrobat XI Pro, the process is much simpler. Here is my form design ready to send out. I'll click on the distribute tab and from here I can send my form as a web HTML form with the relevant links. Or I can send out PDF form for others to fill out. Adobe FormCentral takes care of collecting the responses for me once this form has been sent. To view those, I'll click on the view responses tab. Here I can see all the responses I have received so far. And I can sort and filter these as necessary. I can also generate a summary report that gives me a visual indication of how we are doing with our form. And I can export this and share it with others as images in my presentation or as a PDF report. With Adobe FormCentral and Acrobat XI Pro collecting and analyzing and distributing forms is a much simpler process.

2 days agoHello! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. Cheers!

The Acrobat tools to analyze form data haven’t change between version X and XI so you should find this video helpful:

The new video uses the web-based FormsCentral. I cannot use, nor subscribe to, a web-based application. I want to be able to analyze the example I provided yesterday in MS-Access or MS-Excel. How do I export the data fields to do so?

1 month agoThanks, Donna -
Think of a form used by a school district to gather student information in each class in each school within the district.
There are fields on the top that contain data specific to each school and each class within that school. At the bottom of the form is a table containing a row containing each student’s name plus student-specific information. I want to store that information in a MS-Access database or MS-Excel spreadsheet.
Thanks again,
Michael

You are quite right. We’ll check to see what happened to the analysis component of the video.

1 month agoThe title says “Distribute and Analyze.” The video shows how to distribute but nothing on analyze. I cannot find anything on the Adobe website how to capture the data entered on a form and be able to analyze it in MS-Excel or MS-Access. I cannot use the web-based FormsCentral app on the “Cloud.”
