Since editing XFA form is not possible web form option looks more digitalized and user friendly option but before going ahead with that can we use XFA pdf form in that

I have found a way to edit the XFA form.
Open XFA PDF go to tools and use Organize Pages then each page has to extract from there.
extracted page can be edited / Modify.

Hi @ganeshan3

No, you can’t use XFA forms as web forms to collect data—they’re not supported in browsers and can’t be edited easily. Use Adaptive Forms in AEM instead. They’re responsive, user-friendly, and built for digital data collection.

Hi @ganeshan3

A non-editable XFA form can’t be used directly on a website to collect data, as browsers don’t support it and users can’t fill it out. To collect customer info online, you’ll need to convert it into a fillable PDF using Adobe Acrobat or recreate it as a web form using Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Forms.

Thanks & Regards
