Difference between Adobe Pro and AEM forms?
Need to complete some basic forms and i was wondering what the difference is between using Adobe Pro or AEM to create forms.
Is it easier to extract data with AEM?

Hi @talvinder ,
I assume that by "Adobe Pro" you mean Adobe Acrobat Pro?
The difference is the following:
- Adobe Acrobat Pro is a tool for reading, creating, converting, annotating, and formatting PDFs (among other things) on your desktop or mobile device.
- AEM Forms is an entreprise-level module for Adobe Experience Manager, which lets you:
- Create interactive forms to collect user input and use them on your website
- Programmatically create or modify PDFs and other documents
- Map form data to your business data
- Apply a sophisticated AI to convert PDFs into forms and link the two
- About a million other things
An Adobe Acrobat Pro license will set you back a few hundred dollars per year, AEM Forms is more like a few thousand. These are two different products for two different uses!
