Planning a PDF form Options for creating PDF forms There are many approaches to creating PDF forms. If you have existing paper forms, you can convert them to PDF in various ways, depending on their current format. If you have noninteractive PDF forms, you can transform them into interactive PDF forms that can be filled in and submitted electronically through a network or Internet connection. Using LiveCycle Designer (included with Adobe Acrobat Professional for Windows), you can also create entirely new PDF forms from blank pages or from designer-created templates. Paper forms Using a scanner, you can convert a paper form to PDF and use the forms tools to create interactive form fields in the same page locations as on the paper form.
