Is there anyone that can help me with this? I am trying to create an order form in Adobe Designer and I because I have never used this side of Adobe I have no clue how to do anything.
what I am looking for is something that clients can download, fill out electronically then click a submit button and boom, done.
Please let their be someone online that can do this for me.
A PDF will probably only help you if you want them to print and mail/fax the form -- AFAIK there's no way to "submit electronically." It sounds more like you need an HTML-based form ...
In that case, I guess it is submitting it as an attachment ... to add form fields you have to be using the "full version" of Acrobat, not just the free Reader program. If you got the entire Creative Suite then you should have it. You design your PDF first, then open it in Acrobat and use the "Forms" tool to add fields for text and such.

I do have the full version of Adobe. Is that easier than using Adobe Designer?
What's wrong with a web-based form? PDF forms are annoying and unfamiliar to most people.
I would like it to be life like and easy to print out. There isn't anything wrong with HTML but I just don't know how to create the form then have it emailed to me so I know what people want.
Do you mean Adobe InDesign? That program is used to design/lay out the form, which can then be saved as an Acrobat/PDF document. You would only need Acrobat to add the form-fields.

Not true, I do that all the time. you need the full version of Adobe Acrobat. I'd like to help, but don't have time til next wednesday. Would that be too late?

Designer is overkill for a simple HTML form. My guess is that you don't need the XML processing capabilities it has. Go with FormMail if you can't roll your own. It's very simple.

I guess the only downside to this is this statement "In addition, there is a 14-day, 100% money back guarantee on any plan or service purchased."
I can help you out there. I've made several PDF forms in the past few weeks. Users can fill them out in a web browser and hit SUBMIT to email the data back to you. The only catch is that the data comes back as FDF (form data format) and you'll probably need more than Acrobat Reader to see it.

Thank you.. Can I call you or how can we do this? Welcome back BTW haven't seen you around lately.

I don't want to pay for another program.
Hm? FormMail, the script, is free. They do sell a service, but that's not what I'm talking about... just a regular, run-of-the-mill script.
