How to make PDFs customers can type into

[Mysterio2099]

Sample image attached.

I've been trying to find out how to make a PDF like the one in the sample image. It has highlighted fields that someone can type into and then print. No saving required. I've had no luck finding a solution.

Can anyone help? o.O

Thanks.

use the form wizard in acrobat it automatically finds fields that look like they should be filled in and you can add or subtract fields it doesn't get right with the editing tools.

Ah, I never noticed that. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated!

When you distribute a form and want people that only have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to be able to use it - and SAVE what they typed into the form - you need to go under the Advanced menu and select Enable Usage Rights in Acrobat Reader....

I have "Extend Features in Adobe Reader..." I assume that's what you're talking about. If I don't save it this way an Adobe Reader user will not be able to fill in the text fields and print? I'm not worried about the user being able to save changes to the PDF.
