[thelist] Adobe PDF Fill-in Forms

I created a few of these before I left the Olympic Committee (sorry, no 
URLs, was all extranet stuff).  If my memory serves me you need Acrobat 3.0 
(4.0?) or later.  You basically create the fill in boxes by selecting areas 
using one of the tools from the editing pallet.  This makes them "fillable" 
but then you either have to encourage the user to print them out or you can 
create a CGI submit method (seems to me I've seen someone use FormMail for 
this).  I know that Adobe also has a method (FDF?) for writing the data to a 
database.
