Forms question

Hey Y'all

I have designed a document in InDesign CS3 on MAC and have saved it as a PDF so
the person the document was designed for can edit certain fields.

The editor of the document is using a PC and edits the PDF in form mode. Now
when he makes the document an editable form this is where all the screwiness
takes place, the images get compressed and look crappy and some of the text
formatting goes away. Also shapes that were created in illustrator and pasted
into InDesign are now black boxes.

Any clue as to what settings need to be tweaked or maybe another work around?

Thanks so much

I imagine the person is opening it as a form in LiveCycle Designer.
They shouldn't do that. It's not designed to keep high quality page
design. Form fields can be added in Acrobat.

Who should be defining the fillable form fields - you or they?

I created the layout, but it is a mailable document that needs to be updated
every month with new city and conference information.

So if I could create 3 updatable fields that would keep the style that I have
already set for the document.

I would say I should be setting the form fields so that the document will keep
the design continuity that the company desires.

Thanks

Ok, if you set them up this shouldn't arise. You can use the Forms
toolbar in Acrobat 8 Pro to add fillable fields.
