We use many forms in my company and many times they aren't set up properly so most people use a word copy to be able to add text to the forms. This is a big problem because often the forms end up being altered by the user and defeats the compliance of this document. Forms are a great way to avoid users from changing it's contents.

Creating and using forms with acrobat can be very time-efficient and crucial for a mid-size company like mine. I work with 50 to 60 other employees that are scattered at three separate buildings within 500ft of each other. On a daily basis, we have roughly a dozen of vacation request forms, health insurance enrollments, and various accounting paperwork to process. I find that we tend to duplicate a lot of same tasks to ensure that all workpapers are documented. For example, an employee submits a form that is handwritten, we type out the information into the system, scan the original form, make a copy of the form, print out what was typed in the system, and file all the paperwork away. This can be very redundant and time-consuming to complete one single task.
With a form in Adobe Acrobat, I can distribute the forms electronically, have the employees submit the forms back to me, and collate all the answers in one spreadsheet. This will also save the employees' time, by eliminating walking to and from different buildings.
Also, I brought up the size of the company because we're too small to spend a large sum of time and money on a software or website platform to do these tasks. However, we're a little too big to be working with a consistent pile of hard copy paper.
