Editing PDF created by Word 2003 (fields!)

[data1025]

I have Adobe 5 Full version, and Word 2003. I created a document in Word, exported it to PDF format, and created the fields, so users can fill in the form on their computer.

Now, I need to ADD some text to the form. I cannot figure out how through Adobe 5, and if I use Word, all the fields I defined will disappear. Is there any easier way than to edit in Word, and re-create all the fields in Adobe??

Thanks,
Eric

You could do this a number of ways.

1. Use the freetext tool in Acrobat to add text in the pdf - this is available on the toolbar

2. Create readonly text fields in the pdf

3. Add text to the original document in word, re-distill then copy all the fields from the existing pdf into the new pdf.
