What are the capabilities of PDF format for creating forms?

PDF format allows for creating interactive forms that can include text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdown menus, and buttons. These forms can be filled out electronically by users, saved, and printed. To create forms in PDF format, you can use a library like TCPDF in PHP to generate PDF files with form fields. 

require_once('tcpdf.php');

$pdf = new TCPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();

// Add a text field
$pdf->TextField('textfield1', 50, 20, array('borderStyle' => 'solid'));

// Add a checkbox
$pdf->CheckBox('checkbox1', 50, 40, array(), array('value' => 'Yes'));

// Add a radio button
$pdf->RadioButton('radio1', 50, 60, array(), array('value' => 'Option 1'));

// Add a dropdown menu
$options = array('Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3');
$pdf->ComboBox('combobox1', 50, 80, 50, 10, $options);

// Add a button
$pdf->Button('submit', 50, 100, 40, 10, 'Submit', array(), array('SubmitForm'));

$pdf->Output('form.pdf', 'I');
