- Acroforms
Acroforms (also known as Acrobat forms) is a mechanism to add forms to the
PDF file format.Acroforms permit using objects (text boxes, radiobuttons, etc.) and some code (
JavaScript ).Acroforms keep form field values in external files containing key:value pairs. The external files may use different formats, namely
ascii , fdf, or xfdf files.Acroforms were introduced in the pdf 1.2 format [ [http://apligent.com/docs/tech/Acroforms%20WhitePaper.pdf A Quick Introduction to Acrobat Forms Technology] (accessed 2007/12/05)] . In the pdf 1.5 format,
Adobe introduced a new, proprietary format for forms, namelyXFA forms . Both formats coexist today.References
