With PerfectForms you can have it all...
You can develop powerful web forms for data collection that enable you to introduce complex logic and intelligent behaviors without writing any code. For example, you can incorporate page skipping logic, show fields or hide fields based on responses or even send information to other systems. Fillable PDFs can't compare to the power of PerfectForms! No technical skills are necessary and you can achieve just about anything.
Difference Between HTML and PDF Forms
Not only do the HTML forms look superb, they also behave intelligently, which is where fillable PDFs fall short. The web forms can perform calculations based on any values in the form. Easily incorporate page skipping and field or page level validations if needed. You just can't complete those advanced functions with fillable PDF forms. If required, you can easily generate a PDF version of the web form that looks exactly the same as its HTML counterpart. Furthermore, the PDF forms that are generated can be sent straight through to server or desktop databases without extra effort! All this can be done without programming, HTML or PDF knowledge.
HTML forms are faster and more configurable but PDF forms are still often requested for a range of reasons:
- People are familiar with PDF forms and don't realize the benefits of PerfectForms
- On screen scalability
- PDF standard already in use within certain organizations
- Digital signatures
