Class Description
I came to this class knowing very little about Adobe and creating interactive forms. I feel that after the course, I will be able to successfully create interactive forms for our students. The instructors positive attitude and personable demeanor helped keep me interested and the hands-on approach will help me retain the information.
Traditional paper forms are increasingly being replaced with online interactive forms, as organizations seek to become more efficient and environmentally conscious. This trend away from paper will surely continue, but how do you get started producing these forms? Our class will get you over the technological hurdles.

- Business professionals that want to streamline and standardize their workflow for e-mailing, sending, receiving and collecting data
