All Of
Your Business Forms Can Now Become Electronic PDF Forms
Any
paper form that you are currently using can easily be
converted into an electronic PDF form, which will save you
both time and money. In fact, the Gartner Group, market
research firm estimates that electronic forms can save as
much as 50% of the labor costs associated with traditional
pre-printed forms.
These electronic forms are exact duplicates of the paper
form that you are using, whether created by your company
or by an outside vendor, but in an electronic PDF form.
One of the advantages of a PDF form is that the software
needed to read, complete and print these forms is
freeware. Therefore, every desktop PC can complete these
electronic forms for free. This allows you to rely on a
single version of a form for printing, faxing, e-mailing
and web-based distribution.
The software we use for our Document Management System
makes it easy for you to create, fill in, and submit
electronic PDF forms. You can design and create an
entirely new form, or you can quickly convert your
existing paper and electronic forms to PDF and then add
PDF form fields. Creating a PDF form from an existing form
lets you maintain your organization's corporate identity
and branding, while saving you the effort of recreating
the form. You can create forms with text boxes, buttons,
check boxes, combo boxes, list boxes, radio buttons, and
signature fields. And if all the proper software and
hardware components are in place, form data can be
submitted over the Web and collected in a database, just
as if you were using HTML forms.
The ability to import and export form data also makes it
possible for a user to fill in different forms with the
same set of data. A user can enter commonly requested
information, such as name, address, phone number, and so
on just once, and then use the data again and again to
fill out different forms.
Ease of use
An end user should not have to learn a complicated new
software program to fill out electronic forms. Adobe
Acrobat Reader has a clean user interface so those users
aren't confused with unnecessary features and complicated
menu commands. This eliminates expensive user training and
lost productivity.
Universal application
PDF forms can be completed from any desktop PC, whether it
is a Macintosh, IBM, UNIX, etc. This feature makes PDF
forms very attractive for use on a website. For example, a
company could put its current forms on its website for
clients to download and complete for free. Thus customers
are always assured of having the most current forms
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. |
