We would like to design some complex forms which is not easy or feasible on SAIL. Can we design those forms on other implementation methods like HTML/JSP/Adobe PDF which are available on User Input Task. How easy to work out process variables in these forms ?
If someone can provide an example then would be great help for us.

Thanks in advance

If you don't want to use SAIL forms, one thought - Create a PDF form and add Adobe javascript validations enabled on all the necessary fields in the PDF form. Upload this PDF form into Appian KC then on the user input form, give link to download this PDF form for your customers, which then they use to fill the data and upload into Appian from the task available to them. Once successful upload through the process, have a smart service that parses your PDF form and populates your process variables.
Cons: Maintainability - you need to have a customized plug-in to parse the PDF form.
