With Adobe Acrobat 9, you can convert any form into an interactive document that users can fill out and return electronically. Start with either a paper form you've scanned or an electronic form you've created in any application. It's simple, see how.
Create the PDF file.
Convert any electronic document to a PDF file, or scan a paper form directly into Acrobat (choose File > Create PDF > From Scanner).
Use the Form Wizard to create form fields
Choose Forms > Start Form Wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions. When you run the wizard, the document is analyzed and electronic form fields are automatically created.
Evaluate form fields.
Acrobat lists all form fields created in the Fields pane. Scroll through the document to see if any fields were missed or if any extra fields were created. To delete a field, select it in the Fields pane and press Delete.
Add and edit form fields.
Add text fields, check boxes, list boxes, combo boxes, radio buttons and action buttons to the PDF form. Select the type of form field from the "Add or Edit Fields" list in the Forms toolbar, and then click where you want the field to appear.
Save the form
Be sure to save the form with all the fields you've added. Choose File > Save As to save the form with a different name, so that your original static document remains intact.

How is it that you can't create a form that allows end user to fill the form out and then save it so that it can be emailed.
I have been teaching Forms Creation with Acrobat since v.4. This has to be the worst update to what was a simplified method of designing forms in the past.
Unless you remain in the strict confines of a line rule based presentation, most fields are not recognized or properly labeled by the wizard. This means that you have to remove the fields and to them manually. Add to this a completely different Viewing Mode which you have to toggle between Edit and Preview Modes (not the case in v.8), no access to the Forms Tools unless you are in the Edit Mode and the fact that there is an apparent bug in the Tracking feature and this begins to explain the poorest implementation of this feature to date.
Regarding the Tracking feature we did tests using both Windows and Mac workflows. With the Tracking of forms, returning the form with v.8 Reader works but not in v.9, both on XP and OSX platforms. In Reader 9, here is a script missing as to identify which type of mail return the user is to choose. It appears in 8 but not in 9.
When will Adobe implement true UI and simplification in its Acrobat products? A suggestion would be to return to version 8's simplified method!
I am at a loss to see how I can get the data back electronically if I save this form.
