I have a license to Adobe Acrobat on the web. I have an existing PDF and want to add fillable fields with copying information among the fields. What license / app / software do I need? How to get started?

    ​@WRosenfeld  Get Adobe Acrobat Pro (desktop). Acrobat on the web supports basic filling but not robust form creation, advanced calculations, or JavaScript actions needed to copy/auto‑populate fields.

    How to get the right license

    • Adobe Acrobat Pro (subscription) — includes Prepare Form, field properties, calculation scripts, and full testing on Windows/Mac.
    • Acrobat Standard (Windows only) can create basic fillable forms but may lack advanced scripting; choose Pro if you need conditional copying or complex logic.
    • Purchase via Adobe (individual) or your org’s Adobe Admin Console (enterprise).

    Connect with your Adobe account manager to get appropriate licenses and enterprise cost details.

      Thanks for responding. Adobe’s product and sales structure is confusing and off putting. I purchased the Acrobat web product only to learn I needed Acrobat Pro Desktop in order to create fillable fields. I’m unwilling to pay for that expensive ongoing subscription. Another product did the job. Adobe’s loss.
