Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional - Manual (Page 195)

Creating PDF forms from existing paper forms
Creating an Adobe PDF form from an existing form lets you maintain your organization's
corporate identity and branding while saving you the effort of re-creating the form. To use
an existing paper form, you can scan the paper form directly into Acrobat or you can scan
the paper form and convert it to PDF using another application (see
Creating Adobe PDF
files from other applications ). Once your form is converted, you can either use Adobe
Designer or the forms tools in Acrobat to make the static form fields interactive.
To start Designer using Acrobat and create an interactive copy of a static PDF form:
1. Open the static PDF form in Acrobat.
2. Choose Make Form Fillable from the Form Tasks pop-up menu in the Tasks toolbar. If
your PDF form contains unsaved changes, click Save in the Adobe Acrobat dialog box.
3. Click OK.
