Hi tbaugh,

Without additional information regarding your project, it's difficult to know exactly what functionality you're looking for. However, you can create a form that gets distributed via email to several receipients and you can also use mail merge in Word and create PDFs that you email.
Take a look at this article by Ted Padova on the extended form features of Acrobat:

This may help you with data aggregation.

Also, there is quite a bit of Help documentation on creating a mail merge document and then setting this up to email. This approach is completely different because you're not sending out a form for individuals to fill out; instead you merge the data then send our the resulting PDF.

Keep us posted on your progess,
Lori
