Susie Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I think we've discussed this before, but I can't find it here or in the old forums. Eric, maybe it was you who was looking for a solution? Anyway, I have some forms that I want clients to fill out and I would like to do it in PDF format. I've googled, but I don't know which programs are the best and I'm afraid to download some of the unknowns I'm finding. So, does anyone know of a good program (free is best, but low cost is okay, too) that allows you to create PDFs that others can fill in and then resave and send it back? TIA!

Guest Cashster09 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 You can try creating it in WORD and have customer fill it out and then when they send it back to you, you can use Cutepdf to convert it to a pdf.

PicnicTutorials Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hello Susie As I rememer, I was never able to find a free solution. I "think" you have to purchase the Adobe something or other in order to do that. I just settled on MS Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 You might want to look at one of these two (though I haven't used them myself, since I have Acrobat) http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/Pro.asp http://www.nitropdf.com/professional/overview.htm Of the two, CutePDF looks like it is the least expensive.

Susie Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks, guys. I don't have Word, so I'm definitely looking for a PDF method. I'll take a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpattison Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I've used OpenOffice to create PDFs with submitable forms. You just us the form field tools and set up the submit button correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pooksat Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 For your purposes, could you use the "Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader" function (under Advanced in Acrobat Professional)? This will allow you to save a PDF file that can then be opened in Reader and re-saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesignBySLS Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Acrobat is required to edit PDF files... *sigh* Which is a pain... However... Open office, and google docs can be saved as word docs and acrobat ~DOT~ com It has a trial feature: "Not quite sure yet? We also offer a free plan: 5 PDF file conversions in total, 3-person web conferencing, unlimited file downloads, online office applications, and forum-based support."
