Question I want to create a PDF file for my website which will enable user to download a form for printing. How do I create it?
Thanks
Answer I am not exactly clear on what you want to do. If you want to create a PDF - that is a form that you would like people to fill out and then send to you for printing, this is a complex procedure - you will need Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional - and you might want to crack open the manual! If all you are asking is how do I make a PDF 'downloadable" from you web site - this is an HTML question...If what you are asking is 'how do I make a link inside a PDF that when a PDF file is viewed in a browser, that there is a link in that PDF that would enable another PDF to be downloaded - again, this is a procedure that has several steps - so this would either be a long email or (again) - crack open that manual - While in Acrobat, go under the help menu and cascade select Forms. If I am still not understanding you question, give me a little more detail and I will try again !
