PDF Interactive Forms - Development effort

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I´m not sure if this is the right Forum for this question, but lets try.

Currently we do our form development with SmartForms. We are thinking about how to reduce the needed effort to develop and maintain the forms.

We do not know this new PDF Interactive forms, but can one of the experienced tell how the development effort is compared to SmartForms?

Thanks in advance!
