    Computer Help

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a software program that would let you scan in an established form and then be able to change or enter data into different areas of the form?

    Or does anyone know an easy way to create a form?

    As long as you have the scanned document saved in JPEG, TIFF etc you can manipulate it with photoshop but it takes longer to get the results you want.

    You can also save the file as a PDF and edit later with Acrobat Pro if you need to have tables and other data into the form, but PDF files are a little harder to work with when it comes to inserting rows and columns.

    Your document can also be scanned as a manipulatable document, meaning the text will be recognized as text and allow you to highlight the text, replace, add or delete.

    Isn't technology great? :confused:

    Acrobat Pro is your answer. Not only can you make easy text box fields over a scanned form, you can also have those fields populated by a form fill from an html web site.

    PM me if you want to know more about it being applied to LE.
