Converting a Form to PDF

[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

Sorry, you’ve landed in a MacWord group (not your fault, one of the web
interfaces is *very* badly designed). You might get an answer from the
people here who use both Windows and Mac, but you should try asking your
question on the general Word newsgroups. Start here:

Except, actually--I strongly suspect you need to ask people who use
Acrobat. Look on Adobe.com for their forums.
