Creating and editing forms
Creating new forms
You can add interactive form fields to a PDF by using the extensive form tools in LiveCycle Designer (Windows) or
the basic form tools in Acrobat Professional.
LiveCycle Designer is a standalone application that is included with Acrobat Professional for Windows or can be
purchased separately.
In Windows, you can initiate the process of creating a LiveCycle Designer form either from within that application
or from Acrobat, using the Create New Forms wizard.
In Acrobat, you can initiate the process of creating an Acrobat form by clicking either Convert An Existing
Document or Scan A Paper Form in the Getting Started window, or by opening an existing PDF and choosing
Forms > Run Form Field Recognition.
