Form field recognition not creating text boxes?

[julial92678246]

Hello all,

I'm not very familiar with creating forms from scanned documents in Acrobat XI, but I tried using the fillable form wizard. It recognized almost all of the form fields, but didn't create any text boxes. When I switch to preview mode, it says the form contains fillable fields, but I'm not seeing them. Any ideas as to what's going wrong?

Thanks,

~Julia

The form field detection wizard almost never produces perfect results. It can do a decent job, or a lousy one, depending on the quality of the original file and how well it corresponds to what the wizard looks for. You will almost always have to make adjustments and corrections manually after running it.

It seems to have recognized most of the form fields (they're all listed in the pane on the right side of the screen), but there are no actual text boxes even though it says there are fillable fields.

Try enabling the Field Highlighting option.
