Learn how to build forms and gather data by creating electronic fillable PDF forms using Acrobat. This will help to make completing forms and collecting form data easier for everyone involved. During this course we will cover the basic principles of form design as well as the available features within Acrobat. We will start with a blank form and add form fields, field properties, apply form security and shortcuts when adding form fields.
At City Desktop Training – an Adobe Authorised Training Centre – upon course completion participants receive a Certificate recognised by Adobe.
