Create a fillable form
Well, you haven't *converted* the PDF to a Word doc 'cause it quite probably
can't be done:-) What you have is basically a picture inserted into a Word doc. If you have Adobe Acrobat 7 or later you *may* be able to generate a Word doc from the original PDF if it hasn't been protected against doing so. If you don't have Acrobat one option is to print the PDF, scan it using OCR software & save in a compatible text format - although you'll lose any graphic content (including lines, borders) as well as most formatting. You may also be able to use something like the MS Document Imaging application (look in the MS Office Tools folder) to grab the raw text content. There will be a fair amount of revison to be done. Another possibility is to put the image into the header/Footer positioned as accurately as possible & use Form fields positioned in the text layer using tables, etc. Either way there is a lot of reconstruction to be done. You might just consider recreating the form in Word from scratch... assuming you are legitimately entitled to reproduce the form. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "ub" wrote in message ...

Create a fillable form
One thing that you can do is put the picture in the Header / Footer layer of
the document and then use Word's form fields in the document layer in the appropriate locations on the page. I would suggest that you use a table to help you align the fields on the form. See also http://www.mousetrax.com/TechPage.html#autoforms in particular the series "Please fill out this form" parts 1-4. Part 5 connects the form results to a database which you probably don't need at this point. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.

Create a fillable form
Dawn, I am also struggling with a fillable form! Is there a way to "anchor
the fillable box" so that when I tab from cell to cell my curser is positioned inside the fillable box and not in front of it? Currently, the curser is just to the left of the box and as you type the shaded area is moving within the cell...

It sounds as though you are not protecting the document. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.
