You can create a PDF with form items in it. It will then make an XML file with the responses that gets e-mailed.

The company I used to work for uses them for their job application forms...

Nothing wrong with a Word document and forms, then locking it. But it does have issues of compatibility, so PDF would be best :)

As apk said, online form would surely be the most profesional.
You could create a pdf to email to them with the final details.

Assuming its in relation to your web/graphic design business thing would it not be far easier to do an online form?

Not that I know, of, no.

In Word you can create 'Forms' (bit of a ball ache unless you really know Word well), and than lock/protect the document, so they can only change/amend bits which need to be filled in :)

I need to create an order form but dont want it in word as it looks unprofessional.

Is it possible to create a PDF that where you can enter data into text fields and be filled in and sent back via email or whatever?
