I would like to use Acrobat as a data-entry tool. Is this possible without any fancy web server interfaces? Can I simply send data from a form directly into a database of a multiple record XML file? Please point me in the right direction. Thanks, Haris

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

You'll want to iuse Adobe LiveCycle Designer to create the PDF form. See some of the help files and support Web pages on Adobe's Web site for creating data connections to XML data files via Adobe Designer.
