Adobe Acrobat vs. Forms Central

New Here ,
Oct 20, 2019 Oct 20, 2019

I am looking to create a form in Adobe Acrobat (I have XI Pro at work).

When I attempt to create one in Acrobat XI Pro, it switches to Forms Central. Forms Central seems like a watered down version and I need to create fields that will contain formulas.

 

Not sure why this is happening? Our IT department is not very helpful. Does anyone know what is happening here and why I cannot connect to Acrobat XI Pro when creating a form?

 

HELP!

Forms Central has been discontinued by Adobe.

Replaced with Adobe Experience Manager / Forms (AEM Forms) https://www.adobe.com/marketing/experience-manager-forms.html which is an online forms service.

 

If you'd like to make forms with a version of Acrobat, I suggest upgrading to Acrobat DC 2019 which has better, improved forms-building tools.

Using forms central is optional though at that time Adobe were pushing it. Look for options when you start editing the form.
