Create online forms using FormsCentral

Note: This feature is available in Acrobat 10.0.1 and 9.4.2.

Adobe FormsCentral is an online service—accessible through a web browser—for creating and distributing online forms and surveys. You distribute the link, and then Adobe hosts the form, and collects and compiles the responses. Recipients need only a web browser and any Internet-connected device, including a tablet or smartphone, to fill in forms created using FormsCentral.

  1. Choose File > Create > PDF Form Or Online Form to start the FormsCentral wizard.

  2. Under Form Using Adobe FormsCentral, Select the option Create Or Edit A Form Using The Online Application.

    Note: You can click the FormsCentral.adobe.com link directly below the option to skip the rest of the wizard and go directly to the service. Once you sign up for an account or sign in with an existing Adobe ID account, you can start creating online forms using your web browser.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Create Or Edit Form dialog box, do one of the following.

    • Click the View More link to show additional form templates available in the FormsCentral service. Then sign up for an account or sign in with an existing Adobe ID account.

    • Click Launch to open a web browser to access the FormsCentral service.

  5. Enter your Adobe ID and password, or sign up for a free account.

Adobe FormsCentral starts, and you can begin creating a form from scratch or from a template. For detailed instructions, click the Help menu in the upper-right corner of the window and choose FormsCentral Help.
