I am having no problems with exporting my excel spreadsheet (which has many built-in formulas) to a PDF viewable document.
What I would like to do is export the file to pdf permanently, but I would have to beable to use fill-in's that can identify the formulas I am currently using in excel.
I'm not having much luck on my own. Any help is appreciated.

I am currently running Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0, Windows

You can not copy/transfer MicroSoft Office code inot a PDF form because MicroSoft Office uses the Visual Basic Application, VBA, language and Acrobat uses the publicly available JavaScript. Creating forms outside of Acrobat, are better done in Word and even better done in Open Office Org.
