When I share this form with others to fill out, what program must they have on their computer to be able to fill it out?

TIA,

Judy

Hi, Judy! We are eager and happy to help you, but need some additional information. Is it a PDF? Word document?

I purchased Adobe Acrobat DC so I could create this form.  Started with a form I had from a genealogy program and added ALL the text boxes to be filled in.  Made then all visible.  Now when I open in anything other than Acrobat DC, all I see is the original form without boxes to be filled in!  Do I need to save it as something else? 

Even when I open in Acrobat DC, all I see is blue boxes without visible words in the fields. 

What am I doing wrong?  Want this to be simple for those to whom I send the form!

Thanks, Judy
