I am making an "Agreement" between two parties. I need a couple of boxes to
be fill in the blanks (for example: On this _____ day of ________________,
20___).

I wanted to Convert it to Adobe because I have the full version 5.0 but it
will not let me convert it.

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks!

Just to be sure I understand what you are asking: you create a real
"form" in Word, convert to Acrobat, and expect to end up with a real
"form" in PDF?

I don't know of any tool that does this (which doesn't mean much). The
best place to ask for such tools might be comp.text.pdf.

With the full Acrobat, you should be able to add form fields to any PDF,
so this would mean you only had to leave empty space in Word.

What the user of the resulting PDFs is suppsed to be able to _do_ with
them is a different question, BTW (typing and printing, saving the form
fields, saving the whole PDF --> be sure to mention this in the PDF
forum when you go asking there).

I have Adobe Full Version 6.0 Prof. at home and I can just click on a box in
a Word Document and it will convert it to a PDF File. Then, I go in and make
text boxes to fill-in.

I would like to be able to do that in a Word Document. Maybe where the words
will not move when I type into the underlined spaces that we have provided
for people to fill in. Is this possible? I was trying to just put text boxes
in each space, but I want to be able to just TAB to the next box.

Thanks!

I don't think the following is any/much good if your desired end result
is a PDF-form, but otherwise see:

is the best way to create them? (by Suzanne S. Barnhill and Dave Rado)
