Re: Forms

What do you mean by 'you saved as a word doc no conversion'? PDF is a
*graphical* format. There is always a conversion involved if you want to
open it in Word. Acrobat (the full version) offers an option to save PDF as
a Word document, but whether it can render that document as editable rather
depends on how the PDF was created. If you have an *editable* Word document
then the form fields on the Developer tab should be available. If they are
not, the probabilty is that the Word 'document' contains only a graphic and
so you would need OCR software to render it to Word document format.

it?

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.
