Web form - how to protect from bots?

Question

Hi there, we've made a great web form with Adobe Acrobat that anyone can fill in and signed copies go to the right person to file it but how do we know that the entries coming in are real and not bots? Sometimes the time between Viewing the form and Signing the form is zero which is suspiscious. Is there secure bot detecting tech on Adobe webforms? And if not, when are they introducing this?

No.

We don't know. And those that do know will not let you know unless it has been publicly stated already.

This is really something you should solve at the server-level, by using a Captcha or other methods of identifying suspicious activity (like too little time between getting the form and submitting it), not at the form-level.
