This zeroes in on where the assistance is needed. The problem isn't in getting a pdf document to recognize form fields from Writer (it will do that automatically), the problem is in creating the form in Writer in the first place. I suggest that you read OpenOffice.org Writer Guide, Chapter 15, Using Forms in Writer. Here is the link to this chapter: http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0215WG-UsingFormsInWriter.pdf I just took a simple form done in Writer, and exported it to PDF. I confirmed that using Adobe Reader 7.0, you can then open the pdf file and fill in the form fields, then print it out. (But not save it.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [users] PDF Form On Mon, 30 Oct 2006 19:31:49 +1100 Terry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dijo:

The PDF file has to have been created as a form. That's what I'm trying to remember how to do in OpenOffice.org. Once I create the form, then I can export as PDF and the resulting PDF file can be filled in with just Reader. But how do I create a form in Writer? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
