Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer Book

Anyone who's had to deal with paper forms knows the pain of badly placed check boxes and cramped text entry fields. And the situation is just as bad for those interpreting the data on the other end. Using Acrobat to create forms is a step in the right direction, but even these forms present challenges for data gatherers. What the world needs is an electronic form that marries user-friendliness with the power of modern database technology. A well-designed interactive form can make life easier for everyone who works with it, from the original designer and programmer, to the user, to the compiler of data. Adobe LiveCycle Designer brings the goal within reach of everyone who creates forms. Digital Forms expert J.P.Terry shows the best way to get the most out of this powerful, versatile tool, whether you're a designer who weeps at the thought of programming or programmer who doesn't get design concepts. This book is for anyone who needs and appreciates the power of the perfect interactive form.
