Core tasks include:

Remove form fields: hide fields that should not appear in the form.
Reorder form fields: drag questions into a different display order.

Capability Summary	Form View can create a form directly from the current table in WPS Spreadsheets. It follows the fields in the current table view and supports removing fields, adding fields, drag-to-reorder, required fields, and collection time settings.	Microsoft Forms lets users create forms, add question types, preview forms, and manage response settings.	Google Forms lets users create forms, add questions, mark questions as required, drag to reorder, and manage responses in settings.	Notion Forms can be created from a database, connect each question to a database property, and support adding questions, required fields, and preview.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on e-sign workflows, with web form creation, participant setup, field placement, preview, and sharing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: directly linked to a spreadsheet table, so the initial form follows the current field structure. Advantage: field removal, field addition, ordering, and collection timing can be handled in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: positioned more as a standalone form and survey tool, and the official page focuses on question types and response options rather than direct spreadsheet-view conversion.	Compared with WPS: suitable for general-purpose online forms with required fields and drag reordering, but the official guidance does not describe direct synchronization from an existing database table view.	Compared with WPS: also connected to databases, but the official help notes that creating and customizing forms is available in desktop and web apps, not on mobile.	Compared with WPS: oriented toward signing and document workflows, with form capabilities centered on recipients and signature fields rather than a table-driven form view.

Overall Conclusion: If your workflow starts from a spreadsheet table, WPS Form View is a practical choice for turning existing fields into a form and keeping responses in the same table. Microsoft Forms and Google Forms are more general form builders, Notion emphasizes database-based collaboration, and Adobe Acrobat is more focused on signing workflows.
