Converting a Form to PDF in Word

[kdlsmith]

Hello,

I have a Word to PDF conversion problem.

I have created a form in Word 2003 that I want to convert into a PDF.

My only fields are "Text Form Field" and "Checkbox Form Field." I use the
LifeCycle function in Acrobat Professional 8 to automatically identify form
information and convert my Word form into a PDF form (as I have over 400
standard checkboxes I don't want to do this manually).

Text Form Fields are only converted when they are underlined with a solid
black line (white underlining doesn't work) or in a table that has at least
one border line. Not the best answer but I can live with it.

Checkboxes are not recognized at all (something to do with HML/XML coding
issue?). Does anyone know how to trick Acrobat into "seeing" my checkboxes?
Due to presentation, I can't used underlined text fields.

thank-you
karen
