I've exported a Filemaker multiple-page PDF out of which I wish to make a form. Is there a way to format all pages at once so I don't have to go through page by page to identify and format the form fields one by one?

Correct answer George_Johnson

Acrobat has a feature that will automatically add field where it thinks they should go, but this process is limited, especially if it doesn't add the fields where you think they should go or doesn't add the right type of fields (e.g., check boxes instead of radio buttons, text fields instead of dropdowns). You'll also probably need to edit the fields to specify the font, font size, tooltip text, format type, etc., but scripting can often be used to speed up this process.
