rong Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well I don't really know but I would think that mabey you can fill the form in without having to place the curser every time if you have the correct software, it would be in beaded.So your being kind to someone then letting them think that they are better.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 So that's settled then - Foxit cannot handle Acrobat 8 documents. With Adobe Reader 8 I can fill in the form data, save the document (under a different name, if I wish).In the days before Adobe Reader 8, if you had a PDF file with a form, you could fill it in, but not save it. You had to print it, and send a hardcopy or fax. Now you can simply return the PDF file with the form data in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sorry, that was not very clear from your text and other people's comment.P.S. what version of Foxit are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sorry, that was not very clear from your text and other people's comment.P.S. what version of Foxit are you using?Just tried it again, now I see what rong means about typing on it rather than in it.You go into tools, typewriter and you can put text anywhere you put the cursor, in the boxes or beside or under etc.But to do it properly you have to get the paid version, see my 2nd attachment on previous post.Foxit version 1.3 build 1522.

dadyassa Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Just to show you what I mean... I cant upload the file as it is over 200, but this is a snapshot of the page.I assume the marks they mean are the text boxes, are they on the original file ?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 In Adobe Reader 8.0 it looks like thisP.S. I believe Foxit 2.0 is the latest version; perhaps you want to try again with the newest version...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I had trouble, it kept trying to open with old version, I thought it would of overwritten it but it did not.This is done in version 2. The background colour is optional, there seem to be a lot more tools in ver 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I just downloaded foxit Editer as a plugin.... it says it will leave evaluation marks on each page untill you buy the licence number, you can edit the whole file and save it.
