Best solution to convert DOC to over 1000 form-fillable PDF's and apply Javascript

Question

I need to convert over 1000 MS Word docs to PDF, and make forms interactive with the following JavaScript or other scripting needs:
40-50 fields per form, link to db connection (SQL)
command buttons to Add New (new record to db), Update (existing record based on field value), Submit (submit saved pdf file to SharePoint site-must create directory based on field name; save file as field name
form fields should be clear on open
I know this is a tall order, but if I could get some direction on code examples, that would be greatly appreciated.
I have created a db connection and coded to add new record, update record and save file to local directory based on hard coded path, but I need more dynamics on creating network path, filename using Sharepoint

Answer 1

I would suggest using Acrobat Pro, but Acrobat Standard 9 now includes forms creation capabilities, including adding usage rights. Acrobat can automate the form field creation process by attempting to recognize where form fields would go. You will probably have to make some corrections, but it can help speed up the process.
Adding a submit button is a simple matter, though submitting via email is often not highly reliable and is generally not secure. Consider setting up the form to submit to a web server for a much more reliable and secure system.
If you will be including the entire PDF as an attachment to an email, you will need to enable usage rights (i.e., Reader-enable) for each form if it has to work for Reader users. Reader is not normally able to save a modified document, but it can if usage rights are applied.
If you apply usage rights with Acrobat, you need to be aware of the relevant licensing restrictions. In short, if you will be deploying the form to more than 500 recipients, you may only use information from no more than 500 returned forms, including hardcopies. If fewer than 500 recipients, there are no limits.
An alternative to emailing the entire document is emailing just the form data, which does not require usage rights. The recipient can use Acrobat to import the form data into a blank form and then save/print.
