You can create many kinds of forms
as either static or dynamic with little difference to the end-user
experience. However, some forms work as designed only if they are
created as a static or dynamic PDF forms. In general, the choice
of static over dynamic is determined by the following considerations:
If the form works as either a static PDF form or a dynamic
PDF form, use a dynamic PDF form to reduce server-side processing,
which results in a greater number of transactions per second.
If the form relies on client-side scripts to change the layout
(for example, it uses scripts to add or remove rows from a table
or to make text fields grow), use a dynamic PDF form.
If end users will need to add annotations or comments to
the PDF form, use a static PDF form.
If the form must work with Acrobat installations earlier
than version 7.0, use a static PDF form.
Additionally, there are a number of specific issues to consider
when choosing to create a static or dynamic PDF form. These issues
are differences in the behavior between the form types that may
be critical in making your decision:
As you design a form, you can see how the form behaves as a static
or dynamic PDF form in the Preview PDF tab.
