I've got a document that I have created that is now a PDF. I would like to be able to open the document in Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc...doesn't really matter which one that I can type in the fields. Can this be done? Is it easy? I mean, can I do it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Here is the document: Rental Form |

Late to the party on this thread, but there's definitely some pretty cool stuff that can be done with Acrobat 7. I've recently done some work with fillable PDF's using their XFDF (XML) interface, where you can fill-in part/all of a form template from a database-driven app, and then the user can fill-in other parts manually if necessary, and print or email the completed form, even with an e-signature and remarks etc. Our app uses this to aid our clients in populating government forms which are very tedious and error-prone to do manually.
Acrobat versions prior to 7 did not apparently include the form designer so you could work with predesigned forms but not create new ones from scratch. Adobe does really nail you license-wise as users can't save completed forms with the free Reader and so to do any significant "work" other than reading other peoples' docs, you have to buy the Standard or Pro versions $$$. Still, it beats paper by a long shot for many applications. |
