Adobe Acrobat and Capture

[Dean C. Rowan]

I have perused the Web4Lib archives messages pertaining to Adobe 
Acrobat and have found some helpful discussions regarding the 
distinctions between PDF and HTML in terms of function and design.  
My question, however, is fairly rudimentary:  do I want to use Adobe 
Acrobat to create reproductions of paper forms to be accessible via 
the Web?  I want to allow folks who view the Web site to make copies 
of the forms, manually fill them out and mail or fax 'em back.  (That 
is, I do not want to allow completion and delivery of the forms via 
the Web at this stage.)

Are there alternatives to Acrobat?

Finally, has anybody used either Adobe Capture or HTML Transit to 
convert lengthy documents to HTML?  Any preferences or cautions?
