How to publish Acrobat 9 Pro interactive form for web page
Using Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac, I have created a form using the Form Wizard, from a pdf application form sent to me by my client. I used the wizard to make the fields, but I did not edit any fields. I'm testing this, so I just let the wizard do its work. I read in another post ( https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24068624/Interactive-PDF-to-web-format.html ) that a Submit button was needed, which I did, plus usage rights, which I did. I publshed the file using File > Export > HTML > HTML 4.01 with CSS 1.0
I can open my form in a browser (Safari 3 ) but no fillin fields are there. The form look like the original pdf. I'm missing something. Can you advise? I find no extension called LiveCycle, so I can only assume the Form Wizard is LIveCycle?
Also, once created, is Adobe Reader required on the user end to view, fillin and submit the form?
Thanks

The form is not live and the source shows no form field tags when I export the form as html. I use Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac but I guess I don't have LiveCycle. Pro has a wizard to create form fields but apparently it is restricted to distribution by email only.
LiveCycle appears to be a Windows app. So, I assume this is not do-able on Mac. Is there any other option for me to create an interactive online form from a pdf form?

Actually, try this out and see if it helps you.

It tells me I need the Windows-only LiveCycle, for much $ as I read it. No can do. My goal is to create an interactive online common web form from a pdf form, which will then return a filled in pdf to the form owner. It appears that is not possible with the tools I have.
