Hi,

I'm looking for a reputable tool that will do basic forms with validation (i.e. date formats, mandatory fields, etc.). They need to be submitted by users through email. Just wondering what the best tool is . . . I know there are tools that do a lot more than this, but this is all we'll require for some time.

Is this as basic as buying a full version of Acrobat?

thanks,
Andrew

You will need the full version of Acrobat in order to have a validation tool. Probably best to get Acrobat 8 Professional.

Then, the following paragraph is from the Acrobat help files.

Validation tab for form field properties
The Validation tab appears only in the Text Field Properties and Combo Box Properties dialog boxes. Validation properties restrict entries to specified ranges, values, or characters, ensuring that users enter the appropriate data for a specified form field.

Field Value Is Not Validated Turns off validation.

Field Value Is In Range Sets a numeric range for form fields using values you enter in either as a number or a percentage.

Run Custom Validation Script Validates by a JavaScript that you create or provide.

Hope this help!

Acrobat is probably the program I use most often and I'm learning more every day.
