Why is editing a PDF form such a nightmare?

Hi ​@DD! Thanks for bringing this up.

I’d like to inform you that Adobe Express isn't designed to edit interactive PDF forms. When a PDF form is imported into Express, elements such as text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns are flattened into a static design, which can cause formatting issues and make editing difficult.

If your goal is to fill out an existing PDF form, we recommend using Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you need to edit the form itself, such as modifying text or form fields while keeping them interactive, Adobe Acrobat Pro is the better option.

Here are some resources you may find helpful:

• Edit PDF files with Acrobat Pro: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/edit-scanned-pdfs.html
• Adobe Acrobat online PDF tools: https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online.html

Adobe Express is best suited for creating and designing new PDF content, such as flyers, posters, presentations, and social graphics.

Hope this helps!
