Rendering forms as HTML

The Forms service renders forms as HTML by retrieving the specified form and transforming it to an HTML form. You can select the type of HTML transformation. Rendering a form as HTML is beneficial. The reason is that the computer that the client web browser is located on does not require Adobe Reader, Acrobat, or Flash Player (for Guides (deprecated)).

To render a form as HTML, the form design must be saved as an XDP file. A form design that is saved as a PDF file cannot be rendered as HTML.

For a form design, it is recommended that the guidelines for layout considerations for HTML forms be followed. This action overcomes text shift issues in a rendered HTML form. (See Using Designer > Creating Forms for Forms > Creating HTML forms > Layout considerations for HTML forms in Designer Help.)
