Scanned PDF to searchable/form PDF

    I currently have scanned pdf files that people can download off my website and fill out by hand. What is the best way to have people fill in this information online? There are over 27 pages of checkboxes and text input areas. I need to have the information submitted to a given email address. What are my options for this? I would prefer to not write this all out by hand and then convert it to html forms.

    are the contents of the PDF written or typed? If they are typed u can use adobe acrobat professional, you can convert it to different filetypes from there

    OCR (Optical Character Reader) - most scanners have it. It converts scanned text into editable text.
