Acrobat and AEM Forms

PDF forms are easy to read and open on any platform i.e. Desktop, PC, Mobile devices, etc. However, creating PDF forms may be difficult sometimes. Getting the desired layout and adding dynamic properties into the form is not an easy job.

Adobe provides tools to create and interact with PDF like Acrobat and AEM Forms. Using JavaScript in a PDF brings life to the flat PDF document and enhances its capabilities.

AEM forms combine form authoring, management, and publishing along with correspondence management capabilities, document security, and integrated analytics to create engaging end-to-end experiences. Designed to work across web and mobile channels, AEM forms can be efficiently integrated into your business processes, reducing paper processes and errors while improving efficiency.

AEM form types
AEM forms let you extend new and existing forms to create:

• pixel-perfect, paginated HTML and PDF forms that look almost like paper, or
• adaptive forms that automatically render for a user's device and browser.

PDF forms

PDF forms can be filled offline, saved locally, and form data sent when you are next online. You can use 2D barcodes to capture form data, and use digital signatures to validate authenticity for users.   

HTML forms

HTML5 browser-based forms can be viewed on both mobile devices and desktop browsers. You can electronically sign HTML forms using Scribble or Adobe EchoSign.

Adaptive forms

Adaptive forms can dynamically adapt to user responses by adding or removing fields or sections as required. AEM lets you reuse Adobe XML form templates to create adaptive forms.
