I have an original PDF form need to be edited to a fillable form, I can add Text Field into form as a fillable text field into this PDF form in the Design View, however I can not edit any of the  text , table and several other Objects.  I am an authorized to the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11 , How can I active my whole tool Bar to edit the PDF file? If the otiginal PDF is locked or read only for the above objects, how can I unlock them?

Hi,

if you import a given PDF file into Designer, it is displayed as background artwork in your form.

Most tools of Designer then will be deactivated.

There is no way to edit this PDF background in Designer, as the kind of PDF you create with Designer is completely different to the one you create with Acrobat or InDesign.

You either can edit your PDF in Acrobat or you have to build a new form in Designer from scratch, I believe.
