Hello,

I would like to create a mobile-friendly form on Acrobat Pro DC. Is it possible?

At the moment I can create a "freestyle" PDF form, but that's not what I want, because it would be difficult to manage on a mobile device. While I work on the file I would need to see a preview of how it looks on a mobile device.

Two important features I need and I don't know how to do:

* At the end of the form, I need the employee to sign it (with his/her finger, since he/she is using a mobile device).

* When he/she submits the form I want to get it to my email as a PDF file.

I appreciate the help!

-PDF files are quite mobile-compatible as-is. There's nothing special you need to do to make them more so.

-Digital signatures are treated differently depending on their type and on the app used. You need to test it out and find out which one works best for you.

-Add a button with a Submit Form command attached to the Mouse Up event and set the target URL to "mailto:me@server.com" (without the quotes).

PS. The people posting here are mostly volunteers, doing so in their free time. Sometimes questions fall between the cracks, or people are too busy to answer. If you're not happy with the help you're getting (or not getting) you can contact Adobe Technical Support and see where that gets you...
