    -tictech message:

    Dreamweaver is a great tool, so is Adobe GoLive. They are both powerful
    WYSIWYG (what you is what you get) web page editors. Dreamweaver is
    generally considered the 'standard' editor, but GoLive has some great
    features. I've used them both and so if you learn how to use one, using the
    other is no problem. Additionally, they are designed like most other good
    programs, novices can use them, but they are powerful and the features that
    pros need. The nice thing about them, is that they create standard code
    that is cross platform and 'clean'.

    Regarding your question about Acrobat. The PDF's forms that your are
    referring to are not creating by an HTML editor. This is a feature provided
    by the commercial version of Acrobat. There are a variety of utilities out
    there that create PDF's, Mac OS X has this feature built into it. However,
    the advanced features such as forms, hyperlinks, and creating indexes
    require more sophisticated tools. I am not aware of any free applications
    that will do this.
