Ability to send Fillable PDFs for RFIs

When sending RFIs, there is a section asking for a response.  This this is a regular pdf, the user cannot enter in their response to the pdf and must print, handwrite, scan and email back.  Otherwise, they all need to buy Acrobat and that's very expensive.  What would be optimal would be to generate a pdf with certain fields as "fillable" so that the user receives the pdf, and can enter text, save and email it back.  That way we can also copy and paste that response and put it into the response tab.  No one should have to print anything in 2016.

  The suggestion in this original wish is quite simple: Make it a form field. No special software needed, no extra licenses, nothing.

  Seems like a very cost-effective solution for small companies, and a good stepping stone.

  One needs to be a Viewpoint EXPERT just to determine which Viewpoint modules you need to be able to perform a basic task.

  We'd prefer this functionality within Vista without the need to purchase another web-based application.  We want to be able to suggest functionality within the current application.
