Attached to this post is a beta-test version of an interactive, highly-configurable Nondisclosure Agreement form, in Adobe PDF format. It contains both short-form and long-form versions.

Your lawyer can save time (and thus your money) by configuring either the short-form or long-form version, by checking boxes and filling in blanks.

The form automatically generates a summary page of key terms and conditions, for handy future reference.

See Advantages of using Pactix fill-in contract forms.

(You can download the Adobe Reader software for free from Adobe.)

The editing-license code for this beta-test version will expire at 12:01 a.m. local time on April 1, 2008. Not coincidentally, that's the end of the first quarter (for calendar-year companies).

After that time, you'll still be able to print the document in its then-existing form. If you want to do further edits after that time, however, you will need to purchase and install a new license code. More information about that will be released later.
