Greetings! Does anyone know if the new CS5 will allow Acrobat forms to be inported into Photoshop with out losing form fields? I currently use Acrobat Pro 8.1 and if I create form fields and then (at a customers request) if I have to make design changes in Photoshop, I lose all the fields I've created and must start over.
 
I heard the new Acrobat X included in the CS5.5 will allow these type of changes without losing all the field forms, but in the demo I downloaded, Acrobat X wasn't included. I was going to download just the demo for Acrobat X as well, but it wants me to remove my 8.1 first and I'm not sure where my disc is at.
 
Does anyone have any insight? Thanks!

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1, Windows

No. You can replace the content layer and keep the form layer by using the replace pages.

PhotoShop is a very poor text editor.

Actually it's very good if you use it properly - not as good as the composition engine in InDesign, but way better than the "edit document text" tool in Acrobat!

Yes, it is a poor text editor. I usually have to resize or replace artwork or even the layout of the page. You have again given great advice! Thanks again.
