weegegirl 2 #1 October 31, 2003 Sorry Guys, I’m stumped. Can any of my super cool computer geek friends help me? I need to turn a word document into a PDF Form that people can fill out, save, and email. They used to use this document internally only, but now they want it available on the web. Does anyone know how to do this? I know how to convert to a PDF – that’s easy. I just can’t seam to do it with fields that can be filled out. Grrrrrrrr. -Frustrated in Flint Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyIvan 0 #2 October 31, 2003 Ok, if you have the FULL version of Acrobat you should click on FORM TOOL (you might have it on the tool bar at the top of the screen), then create the field, give it a name and PRESTO!! You'll have to do that for every field in your form__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevJim 0 #5 October 31, 2003 If I remember correctly, the only way to modify a pdf document is to have the full version of Adobe Acrobat. If all you have is Reader, I don't think you can modify it. This goes for anyone on the web wanting to fill it out. EDIT: Of course I could be wrong. You best bet, if they want it as a web accesable document is to turn it into an html form. That can be saved and emailed. Not hard to do at all, really.It's your life, live it!

Have you tried to open it in another program besides full Acrobat, modify it (fill out the forms), save it, and mail it (even if just to yourself)? That final check is what saves yer arse.
