Question

adobe is not picking up boxes

Hi there,

When I create a doc in word and then try to edit in adobe, adobe is not picking up all of the boxes and placing fields in them.  It will randomly assign a text box to one square and then two. I spend quite a bit of time resizing and adding text boxes only for it not to save. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Recognize fields in prepare a form is very far from perfect.  It's a lot easier to add fields manually.  What do you mean "not to save"?

Got it, I meant that I resized and also added fields onto each box, saved it made sure that everything worked. Then, when I opened the doc this morning, one of the new fields were there, not sure why.

And is there a way to copy and paste text fields into different boxes? Including properties? Thanks!
