I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I want to create a PROPOSAL TEMPLATE. I work for an AC company and we email proposals out to clients. I would like to create a template in Acrobat that with text boxes so that we can simply open the template, change the text in the text-boxes to customize the proposal to suit the clients needs and email the pdf proposal document to the client.

So, using Photoshop, I created the general page layout by adding the graphic header and footer, saved it as a pdf document. Then began creating the form text boxes using Acrobat 9 Pro.

The problem is, I can't seem to find a way to email the form pdf document to the client without it showing up as a pdf FORM on their end. I want the recipient to only see the pdf document as a pdf, not a form.

Thanks!

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.3.1, Macintosh

Have you looked at 'flattening' your form and change the form fields to objects in the PDF text layer?

You will have to do this using JavaScirpt with a button or by adding a menu item or tool bar button.

I believe i found a better way. Beginning as I did before, i'll create the page layout graphics in photoshop, save it as a pdf. In Acrobat, create new pdf from pdf file (just created in photoshop), then use the add pages feature to add more of the pages i created in PS, keeping everything consistent and simply use the text boxes tool to create the text boxes and text then save the whole thing a a pdf doc merged.
