Yes. It is simple in Acrobat 8 Professional. Place the form in your scanner and choose Create PDF > From Scanner and scan the form to a PDF.Next, choose Forms > Run Form Field Recognition. Use Acrobat's form tools to clean up.See [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/form_field_recognition/]http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/form_field_recognition/[/url] for more details.
