Converting .pdf into an editable Form

Hi bellancg,

Since you have Acrobat 6 Professional you can add your own text fields to the PDF unless it has security set to not allow changes/additions. Use the form tools found in View -> Toolbars- Advanced Editing. Use the Text Field tool to add/place fields on the PDF. Save, then with the Hand tool selected you should be able to type into the fields you created.Hope that helps,

how do I change the color of the text within text box that I created?

How do I change the color of the text within text box that I created? This was originally a .pdf file that I need to edit!!! Thank you so very much in advance. Rashmi Patel

You can edit the properties of the form field. In Acrobat for a form created using Acrobat, select the 'Forms Tools' tool bar and then select the 'text field' tool, a right mouse click will let you select the 'properties' for the field. Now select the 'Appearance' tab and set the appearance properties as you want.

I am trying to create and editable form in Acrobat 6.0 Pro.

When I create text fields, I only get one line of text and it just runs off the end, rather than wrapping and starting a second line. It is also aligned vertically in the middle of the box rather than being Top aligned.
I have not found a way to change that, and I would appreciate some assistance, please.

When in the Form Edit mode, right mouse select the field and select the "Properties" option. On the "General" tab change the "Orientation" option, on the "Options" tab check the "Multi-line" line option. Then click the "OK" button.
