Adobe, titan in all things PDF and all things design, recently made waves by closing a key product- FormsCentral<\/a>. This lesser known tool, but beloved by a loyal user base, allowed users to create online forms and seamlessly integrate them with their websites. No longer. The shutdown, announced six months in advance, displaces each and all of these users who now need to find another online form service.<\/p>\n

\nAdobe FormsCentral Fading Away<\/em><\/p>\n

Enter JotForm<\/a>. The first WYSIWYG online form builder, JotForm has long been a leader in the field. In a distinct departure from \u201cthe way this normally goes,\u201d it\u2019s the focused and targeted solutions that beat out the big brand name. For reasons analysts may not be able to comment on, Adobe simply wasn\u2019t able to capture more of this growing market in online forms. Their official statement falls short of owning up to their goliath-esque defeat by stone-throwing Davids. It claims \u201cthere hasn\u2019t been as much demand for this type of service as we anticipated.\u201d Insiders in the industry well know, this sector is growing. It just wasn\u2019t interested in Adobe\u2019s contribution to it.<\/p>\n

As competitors line up to welcome ousted FormsCentral users, JotForm provides a migration tool that makes it the quickest and easiest solution to port to. Simply enter your FormsCentral login info, and an email address for your new JotForm account, and press \u201cGo.\u201d All forms and form data will be imported. As of this writing, all other migration tools provided by competitors require listing the forms one by one, and won\u2019t transfer the data.<\/p>\n
