You can design forms in InDesign and export them directly to PDF. InDesign now supports form fields and additional form actions. The Buttons and Forms library (Window > Interactive > Buttons and Forms) has form items that you can use to design interactive forms.
25+ Great Examples of InDesign In Use – Tutorials InDesign is one of the most sought after software programs by modern graphic designers. This Adobe desktop publishing software is commonly used for editorial design, multi page brochures, book design, annual reports and many more. In fact, that may be why we have this current problem with interactive PDF. The features are stuck back in 2002. It’s like seeing pictures of the village of Chernobyl after everyone left. A place frozen in time. The biggest advancement for interactive PDF was when InDesign added the ability to make interactive elements in InDesign.
Using InDesign you can create simple forms within InDesign, without needing to touch up the PDF document in Acrobat after publishing. You can add simple form elements within the document pages. Common field types such as text fields, radio buttons, check boxes, or signatures are supported. You can also add actions to submit the form by email or to print it.
In addition to the basic design, you can also use creative capabilities in InDesign to add a designer touch to your form.
For example, to collect credit card information, you could use credit card icons as radio buttons, with a different image for the selected state.
For advanced form workflows, you can export the basic form and then continue editing it in Adobe Acrobat.
Use the Buttons and Forms panel to add form fields to the layout. The procedures to add interactive form fields are the same as adding buttons so that you don't have to learn new procedures. You can create a form that works with Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. Using InDesign, you can create some cool forms that you can’t ordinarily using Acrobat.
To create user friendly and accessible forms, it is necessary to assign a usable tab order. Users can navigate through the form fields without using a pointing device. Pressing the Tab key shifts the focus to the next logical field.
There are two methods of specifying a tab order in a tagged PDF:
Note:
To enable screen readers to use the specified order, from the Articles panel menu, enable Use for Reading Order in Tagged PDFs. Remember to enable the Create Tagged PDF option while exporting the PDF.
While exporting to interactive PDF, enable Use Structure for Tab Order in the PDF Export dialog box.

Ten years ago Michael Ninness brought me to Adobe to work on LiveMotion, and he went on to product-manage InDesign CS5. I’ve kidded him that a decade later, he managed to transplant LiveMotion 1.0’s heart into ID. I’m kidding, but it is cool to see a number of the features and concepts that customers liked back then–e.g. preset animation styles, easy button creation/interactivity assignment–brought forward. Now, unlike then, the content can also integrate with the Flash authoring environment, meaning you can get a fast, code-free start without eventually hitting a wall.
