I apologize if this has been addressed before. I have a similar question to this thread:
http://www.webdevforums.com/showthread.php?t=26841

I need to build an application page on our company website. I have built an editable PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional and have posted it to the site. As of now, there is no way to submit it online. They can download a copy and fill it out, but I would like a way for them to just complete it while they are there.

Now to my question, is it easier to use something like form tools to build out HTML forms, and submit to the database that way, or is a PDF the better route.

P.S. It will be submitting sensitive information. I will have SSL setup but since this is my first attempt at a project like this, I would like to know the safest way to complete it.

Thank you so much for your help and again, I apologize if this has been addressed before. :D
