.pdf to .pdf form corruption

[Former Community Member]

I created a .pdf from a Microsoft Word 2003 document. When it converted in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, all parts of the document converted correctly. I then made the document into a form. When it opened in LiveCycle Designer, three lines from a table in the document were missing. I originally thought it was some data that had been corrupted when opening it in the other program, but no matter how many times I tried to make the .pdf into a form, the three lines still disappeared. Is there something that I am doing incorrectly? Or a patch for the program? Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

It is difficult to say without seeing the documents. If you send them to LiveCycle8@gmail.com I will have a look when I get a chance.

When you import the PDF into Designer there are two options. If you choose the 1st one then it will use the PDF as an image and  you shoudl not loose anything. Then you can lay fields on top of the image. In the long run the 2nd option is better in that you are creating objects in designer for each object in the work file ....and the advantage of this is that you only modify the form template and not the word file after that.
