forms in Word 2007
I have a .tif image I would like to make into an editable form. As with
previous versions of Word I can place the image into the header of the document (still trying to figure out where everything is on the ribbon) and then place form fields in the appropriate places, but is there a way to save the results as a .pdf file with editable form fields? I have already downloaded and installed the .pdf addon from the MS Office site. |

To my knowledge, creating PDF files like this requires Adobe Acrobat (and not
a cheap/free "PDF Maker" utility). I believe newer versions of Acrobat are capable of it, but I'm not sure. This seems to me to be a question for Adobe Acrobat, not Word. -- ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Wowbagger" wrote: I have a .tif image I would like to make into an editable form.

Acrobat Pro v8 will allow you to turn a .pdf file into a form that anyone
with Adobe Reader v7 or higher can fill out, save, email, etc. The caveat is that Adobe is not supporting Office 2007 or Vista at this point. Some people have no issues, others do. A free patch is expected later this year. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...

I'm amazed (no I'm not, it is Adobe!): I thought that Vista/Office2007 was
the raison d'être for Acrobat v8. Terry Farrell "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ...

That I can't say but I do know that v8 was released before Office 2007 and
Vista. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... I'm amazed (no I'm not, it is Adobe!): I thought that Vista/Office2007 was the raison d'être for Acrobat v8.

This seems to me to be a question for Adobe Acrobat, not Word. I am referring to the "Save as pdf or xps" option that appears within Office 2007. |

The built in function is merely a rudimentary PDF document creation tool. If
you want interactive PDF formats, you will have to go for the full version of Acrobat 8, when it becomes compatible with 2007. Check Adobe's site for update information. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Wowbagger wrote: "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...
