Are in-app forms possible?

Aug 3, 2012 11:18 AM

I am creating an app that has a short form (all text fields). The form will submit via email, no database involved.

 

I know I can create a web form and display the page within a frame, or call up a URL with a form, but I wonder if there is a way I can create the interactive form within the app. There are no tools in the overlay panel that I can see doing this.

 

I tried creating a form in InDesign, exporting as an interactive PDF, and bringing it back into the document, but it lacks interactivity when imported (the PDF does function fine within Acrobat as expected, however). Also tried skipping the PDF export and adding my InDesign form pages directly to the folio as an article. No luck there, either.

 

Am I missing something, or can this not be done? If not, it would seem to be a really useful addition to the overlay panel's capabilities.

 

Many thanks for any assistance.
