Subject: [WebAIM] PDF Form question

Hi all,

I'm working on a PDF form for our central office to send to our 25 colleges for students to fill out. I'm converting from a Word file, and then needing to do extensive remediation.
Everything is going fine, except one thing. In the header of the document, we need to be able to change the College Name and Address for each school. When I try to edit the PDF where College Name and Address are, it messes up the spacing and moves other text around. Is there any way to get this to work without having to create 25 Word files, then convert and remediate each form- which would take days.

The only thing I can think of is to make College Name and Address fillable fields- is there a way to fill out and lock those two fields when posting the form for students to fill out?

Thanks,


Joseph
