The company I work for has all their forms online for me to down load in PDF, non of which are fillable. I use the same forms often but a new form must be down loaded for each new client. Each new form down loaded has a new bar code and serial number. I have no problem turning a form into a fillable form but am I then able to move the Text Boxs, Check Boxs and Radio Buttons to the new unfillable PDF with my Adobe 6 Pro.? I have tried to copy the Text Boxs from a fillable PDF I created and paste them in a new form but they do not appear where they should. Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks

Instead of moving the fields, try saving the file as a new name and then replacing the pages (Document > Replace Pages). This will leave the fields intact.
