Can you remove lines in a table in a fillable form

New Here ,
Oct 18, 2021 Oct 18, 2021

I have a fillable PDF that i've created (based off a table type format initially created in word).  I now need to add some lines in the table and delete some.  Is there a way to do this in Adobe DC?  Or do i need to do it in word and then recreate the whole fillable form again?  

Am wondering if there is an easy way without having to lose all the fileds already created in Adobe.

You would probably be able to remove those lines in Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro. To say Adobe DC unfortunately doesn't mean anything because if you have Adobe Reader, than the answer would be "no." 

 

Do you know which version of Acrobat you have?

Sorry, was in a rush when typing that - it's Adobe Pro

OK, that simplifies things a lot.

 

The next answer is "depends." Forms can be tempermental in how vulnerable they are to things you want to do. So, I suggest go into Edit mode, select one of the lines you wish to remove, then save the form. Make a duplicate of the form and open that, and see if it works. If it does work, then do some more removal, duplicate, and see if it works.

 

I'm suggesting you do the "duplicate and try" because if you get to a point where it stops working, you'll know what the issue/problem area is and you can either try again or just go back and recreate in Word and remake the form.

 

A screenshot of what you've got may also help me (or anyone else) to have a better idea of what you're up against.

 

Good luck!

I am also facing on my site this type of issues. Basically I have designed a Contact Us form on my site [Link removed] and in the backend I have designed a PDF format from where I can get all the details of persons who are filling up this from. So can anybody please check once and let me know about this issue and also how to get rid of from this issue. Thanks in advance.
