- Open MS Word/Excel and create your Word/Excel document
- Click File -> Print...
- Click the Down arrow in Printer field to select Adobe PDFMaker,
then click Print
- Save your PDF file into your home directory, that is Y:\your-login\file.pdf
- Your homedirectory should already be the default folder, so you only need to
type in a filename.
- If, however, you are not in your home directory, locate it by clicking on the
Down arrow in the Folder field at the top.
- The new PDF document should appear directly in Adobe Acrobat. From there, you can
create fill-in boxes, etc.
- N.B.: If you need to modify the text of the document,
you will have to do so in the Word document you originally created, then re-create a
PDF file from it.
