Oh this is great. I am able to fill in some areas. But not the days of the week. I need my field guys to be able to type in their hours per day, on the days of the week.


When you have form fields in Acrobat, you can let Acrobat take its best guess at creating fields automatically or you can create them manually or possibly a combination of the two.

Letting Acrobat create the fields automatically rarely works well across an entire form, and the fields will need some tweeking by you whereever it fails.

You might want to look at some tutorials for creating forms.

I wish it was that simple.

When I click save the fills are no longer fillable.

I guess my question needs to be more like:

How to create a fillable form from an excel spread sheet?
