I am currently using Adobe Acrobat 9 pro and when I create a new pdf it opens up with all the form fields, is there a way to open it without having all the form fields come up? As i have to copy and paste fields from another document straight onto this new one. This will be alot easier then going through and deleting them manually each time!!

Thanks,

Kirsten

Something to try -

May fit your situation/need; remove form fields on a PDF with PDF Optimizer.
Then plug that PDF back into the work flow.

Just an aside: Remove annotations using the Preflight Fixup that discards annotations.

Just select the Object Selection tool (a black arrow), press Ctrl+A and then Delete.
