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.

View this handy video on how to create forms!


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

Enjoy!

    I happened to come across this website PDFfiller http://goo.gl/jMhWYn when I was looking for a perfect way to edit PDF files. I would really recommend this, no software to download and install. You can fill the text fields, add a variety of checkmarks, digitally sign the form and even add pictures. After your pdf form is completed, it can be printed, emailed, faxed or saved on your computer. You can even send fillable pdf forms to your customers, employees, vendors and partners. Also you can find the right fillable form anytime using the form search engine that contains more than 10 Million forms.
