Imagine filling-out a form in Word document where lines move whenever you type. Hassle right!? Now, I'm sharing a trick that will make your life a lot easier (especially if your job requires you to fill-out forms like mailing forms, library forms even filling out Leave forms in Word format).
What you need:
Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional (or the latest). I use Acrobat 8.
Steps: (Just Briefly)
1. Convert your file to PDF. (I know that Miicrosoft 2007 has a built-in feature to convert Word to Pdfs. If you don't have, there are free softwares on the web like : convert.neevia.com/ or www.freepdfconvert.com/. I prefer the former.)
2. Once your document in in PDF click Forms then Create New Form. (this is for Acrobat 8).
3. Create a fillable form through the Wizard or you may do it yourself. You'll surely find your way around how you want your form to look like through trial and error. There's a Preview tab where you can easily test your form, spot errors and areas needed changing.
4. SAVE!
There's also a tutorial HERE.
I guarantee fillable PDF forms will save you time.
Till then...
