Insert text in a pdf (adobe) document
I hope I am in the right forum. Whenever I save a document in a pdf form
(adobe) I am unable to insert text in the document. Notice IRS has their pdf form for eg. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040ez.pdf You can only insert your name,address ,social security # etc but you cannot change the rest of the document. I am using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard I tried exporting adobe document to word and excel but you cannot insert anything into the document. Do I need to buy special software? Thanks |

Insert text in a pdf (adobe) document
This is not an appropriate newsgroup for Adobe Acrobat issues at all (you
should find an Adobe NG), but I can tell you that a fillable form in Acrobat is just the same as one in Word: you're meant to be able to fill in the fields allowed for data entry, while you are prevented from editing the rest of the document. That's the whole idea of a protected form. I can't imagine why you would be wanting to try to edit the form itself (you wouldn't be able to do that with a printed form), but Acrobat Standard does not allow creating forms (for that you have to have the Professional version), so I imagine it does not permit editing them, either. -- Suzanne S.
