Help-
I am trying to redo a little bit of an Invoice Form I have set up as a PDF. I use a PC. When I am on a Mac, I can edit a form through Acrobat, however, at hoome I have to use the "wonderful" Adobe Designer to create/change the form. This is a mess of a program. I cannot get any form fields to work properly after editing parts of the form that are not even near the, now-corrupted, fields. ANyone have any ideas about Adobe Designer or know of a PDF Form creator to use?
I have the original layout in InDesign CS2 if that helps.

Thanks in advance

I used Adobe Designer and built from scratch for the forms we use at work and haven't had any problem that way. Use your helpful side bar for info on what's what.

Don't know how you would go about converting an inDesign form to the Adobe Designer layout.

The forms I've created have been templates generated from inDesign, then
exported to pdf. I draw the fields in Acrobat 7 Pro. I found it much easier
to pick up on than Designer, but I haven't spent tons of time trying to
figure Designer out either. Doing them in Acrobat is pretty simple once you
get the hang of it. Designer may have more options than I'm aware of, too.

Doubting_Thomas, is that Acrobat 7.0 on PC? I thought i wasn't allowed to edit a form in 7.0 since they came out with Designer?

I rather use Acrobat (since I am used to it and had created forms for a few yers until Designer came out).

Yeah Designer is just a PC program for creating forms and not on a Mac. Macs can edit/create forms through Acrobat. Sometimes I just bring in the PDF to work on a Mac and edit it and take home. But was checking.

Thanks
