Can I create a portable fillable pdf form?
I would like to scan an existing real estate purchase agreement and create a fillable pdf form file from it, that can be saved to a thumb drive.
This would allow me to fill out a purchase agreement from any computer with a usb port.
Is this possible? How would I do this and which software would I need?
I've been a long time owner/user of OmniForm 3.0. It has worked well for filling out contracts but ties me to my office to do so as it's in a proprietary format.
Thank you!
Sonic

I know you can do it with the full version of adobe acrobat, you can fill in the form with reader(the free one), but cant save it with reader. The full one you can obviously do everythhing

CutePDF has FormMax which is $89. I have never used it.
There's also PDF-Forms which is also a free trial and costs $29. Also, have never used it.
What about creating an Excel or Word file that will fill all that stuff in for you? Do you need it in PDF?

If you want to scan the document and email it to me, I can make all your fileds available for text input with Acrobat 7 Professional. You can then just take the PDF to clients on the thumb drive, fill in the blanks and print. You won't be able to save the changes/text that you input into the fields, but it's still probably easier (and more legible) than filling the fields in by hand. Let me know if you're interested.
