AcroDialogs by Windjack Solutions

Dialogs are a visually intuitive, premium User Interface tool and are the preferred UI method for collecting complex data from users. They are used frequently with most, if not all, software applications on the market, and now you can create your own dialogs for Acrobat.

AcroDialogs^© is a graphical designer for creating custom dialog boxes for Acrobat (examples). Its simple design allows users to drag and drop various elements into the dialog box such as buttons, check boxes, pulldown menus, edit boxes, text, and images into the design (See Screen shots). This amazing tool creates user interfaces for your PDF Documents, LiveCycle Designer^® Forms, FDF files, and JavaScript Add-ins. The dialog boxes created with AcroDialogs work with Acrobat 6.0 and higher, including Acrobat Standard and Professional and the free Adobe Reader.

Use AcroDialogs to create custom:

Form Filling Wizards (also called Form Guides) are useful for a number of form filling activities, such as guiding the user through a complex form filling process, providing information and instructions that cannot be placed on the form itself, and tying different parts of a form (or a completely separate form) together. They just plain make it a better experience for the user.
**Form Wizard Example
Splash Screens that include copyright and legal information, special form instructions, user tips or any information that should be available to users without utilizing precious form real estate
** Document License Dialog Example
Alert Boxes with special formats, icons, and buttons.
Input panels to collect special information from users like part numbers, employee numbers, or auto form filling options.
About Boxes for an organization or corporate forms including logos and website links.
Document Preferences Panel for reconfiguring forms.

(See the working examples here)

Additional benefits of using AcroDialogs:

Make PDF forms more useful.
Use dialogs to ask specific questions and use the responses to populate parts of your form with specific internal data such as part numbers and department codes. End users may not have this information at hand but it could be required or helpful for your document workflow.
Add flexibility to your Acrobat JavaScript macros with an options/input panel.
Dialog boxes created with AcroDialogs are compact, powerful, speedy, and massively useful!

Adobe introduced JavaScript Dialog boxes with the release of Acrobat 7.0^®, but they were actually implemented way back in Acrobat 6.0. While this new capability is a fantastic tool for building sophisticated document applications and Acrobat Add-in tools, coding a dialog box is, to be frank, like pulling teeth out of a live bear, ugh.

Which is why we created AcroDialogs. It makes creating even complex Acrobat JavaScript dialog boxes as easy as drag and drop.

Are you dreading those long coding days ahead? AcroDialogs is a real time saving and productivity tool. It creates complete JavaScript code to build and use custom dialogs in Acrobat - all you have to do is drag and drop dialog box elements onto the designer palette, AcroDialogs takes care of the code. Discover how to use this powerful UI feature and shave hours, if not days of programming time from projects using dialogs in Acrobat.
