converting a spreadsheet like grid into a form with many fields

[gary_sc]

I have a PDF that I want to convert into a form. In this PDF is a grid for the days of the week so that people can fill out the number of hours that they worked. The individuals are on the left side as one column, the day (number) is along the the top row. People fill this out for who it was and the number of hours for that day.

When we run the Form conversion process, we get one long field for each day as opposed to 31 separate fields for each row.

Is there a way to do this automatically as opposed to brute force doing each field for 13 rows?

Thanks,

Create the first field at the top left corner of the grid. Then right-click it (in Form Edit mode) and select Create Multiple Copies.

Enter the number of copies you want to create, and the offsets between each one, and you're done!

Hi Try67,

That did work although it wasn't what I was expecting or hoping for. I was hoping for Acro to recognize that I had a whole bunch of cells and would create fields in each one. Apparently that can't happen.

A bit more work but I got it done.

Thanks
