I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.0 and have created several fillable forms for my own use. I have a very good friend who is a dentist. He wants me to convert his patient forms info fillable format so he can post on his website, patients can fill in the form on the website and then print them out. So far so good. He wants to go one step further and have the patient fill in the form and send it via e-mail. He wants to be able to get the form from e-mail, open and then print the form for his patients file.

First question is about security. What would be the best way to secure the forms content?
Second, I created an enrollment form for one of my clients, they would fill out the form and send it to me. I could open the form and adobe would automatically find the form on my system and populate it with the FDF data. BUT, I moved my form or my client moved their saved copy and I had to manually open the form before I could use the FDF data. My question is, If I create the form for my dentist friend, and then he uploads it to his website and he also puts a copy of the form on his computer system, will they find each other? or what would be the best way to accomplish this form task?
Thanks,
Mike

PS. these forms would be created in Acrobat

Download this FDF file, unzip it and double-clic it : it'll open an online file and add translated comments in.
Then open this FDF file with a text-editor, and open yours : you only have to replace the local file path by an URL, and save !

Thanks so much for your response. I'm not sure how to open the FDF file with a text editor..and could you please be a little more specific as to what I need to change in the file path? I'm new at this and need a little more specific. Thank you again..
