Save completed Acrobat Reader fill-in forms
Authored by: Thom on Apr 28, '04 10:57:19AM

Last year, I did mine using Adobe Photoshop -- what a pain, one text element layer per box.

This year, not much better, did them using InDesign. The goal is, always having something halfway between image and text, so I can copy the numbers out quickly and easily.

I don't see the logic behind making people pay for a feature like this. You'd think if Adobe wanted their Reader product to be more ubiquitous, they'd draw the line at being able to *author* fill-in forms, and let people open / write-in / save / re-open / edit their forms to their hearts' content...

Just put the pdf as a background picture in a Word processor and type your text above the empty slots.
Sometimes, first formatting is tricky: have to use font espacement a lot to put one char per slot, but after this first shot you can reuse easily.
