Re: Forms

Word cannot open PDF files, and there is no way to convert a fillable PDF
form to Word format, so what in fact have you done here?
If you have extracted the text from the form with some form of OCR
conversion software, then you will need to add form fields from the forms
toolbar/developer tab to make a new fillable form.
