What is Adobe AEM Forms?
Confused about what “AEM Forms” actually means? You’re not alone—and it’s not your fault. Adobe uses AEM Forms as an umbrella brand for more than 20 years of products and technologies. That’s why their documentation is often perplexing, inconsistent, and sometimes just plain wrong—leaving teams frustrated and misinformed.
That’s where we come in. With over 20,000 satisfied students, we are the trusted alternative to Adobe’s confusing documentation. We’ll help you master your tools, understand the platform, and create great forms with confidence. Want to see how? Contact us for a demo of our eLearning.
