If it's really important, and you have access to it, I would recommend going
the Acrobat route...then you have zero cross-platform issues with the forms,
and can build your database from there.
You will need the full Acrobat package, of course, so it's best if you
already own it of have access to it. If necessary, Kinko's loads the full
version on all of their self-serve machines.
