Using a Windows PC, I created a PDF form using Designer. Now I have a Mac but Designer is not ported to OSX.
 
Question:"How can I edit the aforementioned .PDF form on my Mac? (I have access to InDesign but that doesn't seem to work).
 
Thanks

Ideally, you should try to edit the form in Adobe Designer. If you created a dynamic form and used any scripts, you'll need to go back to Designer to edit your file.

If it's an absolute must and you need to convert the Designer XML form to an Acrobat PDF form so it can be edited in Acrobat, see my article at: [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/?p=31]http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/?p=31[/url].

The article covers converting Designer forms to Acrobat forms when necessary for Mac users.
