    The document introduces Adobe PDF forms and compares Acrobat forms and XML forms. Acrobat forms were introduced as a plugin in version 3.5 and became fully integrated in version 4.0. XML forms were introduced in version 6.0 and became fully integrated in version 6.0.2. XML forms allow for dynamic pages and less programming for simple tasks like required fields. LiveCycle Designer, bundled with Acrobat 7 Professional, allows creating form layouts and adding logic and intelligence. The document demonstrates using XML forms for a customer survey and loan application that interacts with a web service.
