How do I make an existing document or pdf into a fillable one?
I along with countless others are unemployed--in my case--even with good
skills in my profession, I've been unemployed for 5 months. I am growing weary of printing out applications from websites and hand writing them. There must be a way to convert them to fillable forms. Does anybody else have that experience? I have downloaded a couple of pdf converters but neither shows a way to convert to a fillable form. |

Adobe Acrobat (the full version, not just the free Adobe Reader)
includes a Form Tool that allows you to overlay fillable form fields onto PDF files. Unfortunately, a full version of Acrobat is fairly expensive. There are a number of Acrobat clones available, but I don't know if any of them offer this particular functionality of the real Acrobat.

I think you need adobe acrabat on your computer to be able to fill in the
forms. And then the creator of the form must set the security to allow them to be filled in. -- Deb R "Jodi" wrote: I along with countless others are unemployed--in my case--even with good skills in my profession, I've been unemployed for 5 months.

Even Acrobat Standard (which is what I have, and that's expensive enough)
doesn't permit creation of fillable forms; for that you have to have Acrobat Professional. -- Suzanne S.

You would spend so much time converting each one to a fillable form that
you'd have no time to search for a job. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Jodi" wrote in message ...

I'm still using Acrobat 5.0, which only comes in one flavor, but
it works as described. Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: Even Acrobat Standard (which is what I have, and that's expensive enough) doesn't permit creation of fillable forms; for that you have to have Acrobat Professional. |

I guess they split it with 6.0, which is what I have.

How do I make an existing document or pdf into a fillable one?
If the instructions that accompany the forms suggest they should be hand
written, the reason is frequently to do with the handwriting analysis some employers use as a first stage filter. Filling in such forms by PC will ensure they go straight to the shredder. The best form filling tool I have come across is the form filler that came with the corporate version of Abbyy Finereader 6 (I believe it was split off later as a separate application and I cannot comment on the later versions). You will need a scanner as (unlike the OCR software it accompanies) the form filler is not compatible with PDF format. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jodi wrote: I along with countless others are unemployed--in my case--even with good skills in my profession, I've been unemployed for 5 months.
