Today's post is something a little geeky. Anyway, the reason for this was that I encountered a number of forms at the office in .doc format. In a perfect world where everything remains formatted no matter what you type in there, this is good, but in the real world where formats and (letterheads) actually become a jumble of l_e_t_t_er_____and symbols it is much better, and cleaner, if one can just do a fillable pdf. After a brief research online I managed to find a way to do it in OpenOffice.
The link for this was from this
forum.
Tried it and it works perfect! There might need to be some trial and error on making sure the size of the text box works well, but that's the only challenge. Also, I edited the (resultant) .pdf file through the opensource document viewer app and it works just as great.
For non-Open Office users, this
link gives instruction using Windows and Adobe designer. Adobe designer, I think, is a proprietary program, hence you might need to pay for it.
Till next!
