import PDF---Change from Static Form to Dynamic Form How?
I have a need to change this document (link above) to a dynamic form. My first action was to import the PDF into Livecycle designer ES 8.2. Apparently it was brought in as artwork. I am OK with that as long as I can add dynamic fields to it, but wait......it looks like Livecycle already placed dynamic fields in all of the places i would want, creating a hierarchy. When I go to save this file it is limited to Static Form "Save As Type". Any ideas on how to get around this? Everything looks perfect except that I can not use this document to fill in data by the user dynamically.

Hi,
When you create a form by importing an existing form, eg from a Word document, then you cannot save it as a Dynamic XML Form.
However you can still have a functioning form, its just that you can't have dynamic behaviour like growing fields, flowing content or add instances/rows.
Here is your form back: https://acrobat.com/#d=ROPU58OJ8zxB51INDpyjHQ
The main problem is that it was set up for PDF/A standard, which prevented the fields accepting data. I have removed the PDF/A standard from the profile (preflight) and it seems to work okay now:
Hope that helps,
Niall
