Advantages of Adobe forms

More and more companies are using forms in a large number in the process of enterprise process management. What are the obvious advantages of Adobe forms compared with other forms?

The generated form file is a PDF file that can be opened directly using Adobe Acrobat Reader. As we all know, Reader is a free product and is very easy to use. users do not even need to look at help documents, which saves a lot of employee training costs for the enterprise itself. Secondly, this form supports offline work, which is convenient and flexible. You can enter information anytime, anywhere, and then upload the information to the server when the network is smooth. It also facilitates backup and storage, archive and print. In addition, due to the addition of digital signatures, the file security is also guaranteed, which ensures that no one can view, modify, or perform other illegal operations on the form without authorization. Thirdly, the form design integrates the binding with the backend data on the server. A large number of pre-options, such as list box and drop down list, greatly save the time for table filling. At the same time, the script Javascript in the background has also been integrated into the form. The powerful data verification function avoids the embarrassment of incorrect data. Finally, compared with paper-based office, electronic form office saves the company money while saving energy and environmental protection.

 

Let's look at the benefits of using Adobe form from the technical and implementation perspectives:

1. Adobe's form technology can easily be integrated into existing web application servers, form design, online offline form processing, form distribution, and other actions in one go. This feature is very suitable for human resource management and finance.

2. In terms of form design, Adobe has two major tools: Adobe livecycle designer and Adobe Document Service. Adobe livecycle designer is a very easy-to-use form design tool with a complete UI and support for drag and drop. Anyone with experience in computer operations can easily get started; adobe Document service is a service running on a Web server. It generates the forms required by users by processing SOAP requests. It has two main tasks, the first is to output the PDF form by combining the form template file and system data, and the second is to extract the PDF form data that the user inputs and return it to the system.

I believe that the reader has seen the advantages of Adobe forms in this field from the above comparison.
