RE: Fillable forms using Acrobat 6

Yes, I've successfully done this --

Click the link on the top right column for the fillabel PDF:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/fund/2004NCVRWfund/welcome.html

The only problems encountered so far is that I had to adjust the sizes of
one of the fillable areas because it was permitting typing of a line of text
that was only viewable from the top half of the letters if this makes sense.
So when someone typed that final line, it would type out but only the top,
upper portion of the characters were readable. To fix this I adjusted the
box size so that additional line wouldn't fit anyway, and that problem went
away.

So far, there haven't been any further problems with this --

Subject: Fillable forms using Acrobat 6


Adobe claims that its new Acrobat 6 can create fully accessible fillable
PDF forms. Has anyone tested these? Would they be an acceptable solution
for posting fillable forms, or are there any potential barriers or
compliance issues?

Adobe's information is posted at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_info.html.

Thanks!
Kelly
