What you have seen is an Acrobat document which has had active form fields added to it.
The fields are added using Acrobat v. 6.0 Professional.
To accomplish it, you first create a PDF document. Then, open that document in Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Create the fields in which you wish to enter data, then save the document.
Someone using Acrobat Reader can open the PDF file, fill in the fields, and print the document. However, he cannot save the document with the data he entered; he can only print it. Other mechanisms can be used to capture the data entered on such a form and save it in a database. Those mechanisms are much too complex to explain here.

Hi,Jim Plante
as ADOBE says, PDF is not a editable file. But i found some PDFs have checkbox, text input box, even caculate function. They provide such PDFs to user for data input purpose.
