Not a subscriber yet? 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.

As promised, there is a new Sandbox for 2025. This server has the latest AEM Forms 6.5.22. I am migrating your accounts today. I will also put up last year's server in case you want to backup your exercise work. Here is the new Sandbox URL.

You may see instructions like this in one of our Student Manuals: "Double-click the jcr:data property and click Browse".  As of AEM Forms 6.5.20, Adobe no longer supports this feature and I added this to the Known Issues section. Executing these steps in a newer version of AEM will result in this error: Unknown server error  Client Library JavaScript was updated with the new instructions that work.

jQuery has been updated with 2 new eLearn modules and 2 new Student Manuals for jQuery and jQuery DataTables.
