To save forms for Acrobat and Adobe Reader

When you create forms for Acrobat and Adobe Reader, you must save them as PDF files. PDF files saved from Designer ES should only be edited using Designer ES.

You can select the target version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat that you plan to run the form on. Selecting the target version allows you to see features that are not supported. See To select the Acrobat and Adobe Reader target version.

1.	If saving a PDF file in Workbench ES, do the following tasks:

•	Select Edit > Form Properties.

•	Click the Save Options tab.

•	Select the Save PDF As file type.

•

Click OK.

2.	If saving a PDF in stand-alone Designer ES, do the following tasks:

•	Select File > Save.

•	In the File Name box, type the name for the file.

•	In the Save As Type, select the required type.

•

Click OK.

Note:

Ensure that you have the version of Acrobat installed that matches the target version saved; otherwise, you may get an error or warning message when you click the Preview PDF tab. For example, if you select Acrobat and Adobe Reader 7.0.5 or later as the target version for the form, ensure that you have Acrobat 7.0.5 installed.
