PDF Fillable Forms

Creating PDF forms in Acrobat has never been quite as easy as you think it should be. But, with the arrival of Acrobat X, a lot of the bugs seemed to be ironed out! With Form Wizard, it automatically finds the fields for you, and voila! All you have to do is edit the fields and save.

If you are in Acrobat 9 or later, you even have the option to create your forms to be saveable and printable by the receiving party.

And the bummer still about this technology is that there are still a couple of bugs that need to be ironed out. The main one being that if someone fills out a form in Mac Preview, and then the form is opened in Acrobat, the information disappears untill you click on the field.

But not worry! There is a fix, check this out: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2009/11/script_to_fix_mac_osx_previewa.html
