I had luck creating the form fields, but then when I saved and reopened the
doc, it just shows me the fields and doesn't enable me to fill them in.
I have to open a separate install of Acrobat Reader to fill them in.
Am I just missing some simple setting here?

thnx

Open it in Acrobat, select toolsadvanced editingText field tool draw a
text box around each field where you need text inserted, save it, close
it, re open it, type in the text. You did say you have the full version of
Acrobat 7 right?

Hello,
I've got a PDF form that is not the type with entry fields.
Instead of putting my handwriting on this, does anyone know of a way to
fill it out using my computer?
1. Can I somehow put a PDF as a background image in a Word doc so that I
can type on top of it?
2. Had someone OCR it for me, but it's too far from the original and is
cumbersome.
3. Briefly tried doing it in Illustrator by opening the PDF and typing on
top of it, but it is quite difficult to place the text and space it so
that the form gets filled on the right lines, particularly where there
are multiple line answers.
4. Is there another piece of software that can accomplish this unique
task?

Thanks for your help,
hj.
