Hi,
Amy
No,
unfortunately I cannot tell you as I never downloaded it - the department either
purchased it or got it with their HP printer. Perhaps the Hewlet Packard
website offers it but I don't know - it's been one of those pieces of the puzzle
that's always been there.
Please
note my comment "Word, on the
other hand, has almost always given me headaches in this regard. "
I don't know if this PS driver will help that. If it does, let me
know!
There
is software that does batch conversions - some of the Gurus on this list could
probably suggest some. I think Cardiff's got something that converts Word
docs to PDF, for example. If you have hundreds to do, I'd recommend doing
them all in a batch and then review the end product for "screw ups" or (more
technically speaking) "fidelity issues". Doing them one at a time might
keep you busy 'till Christmas!

Subject: RE: [PDF-Forms] Forms Design program on the Mac?Mark,Can you tell me where I can download the Postscript driver you mentioned? I have been assigned the wonderful task of converting hundreds of MS Word forms to PDF and anything I can use to make the transition a little less frustrating would be great. Thanks for your help in advance!Amy

Hi, Robert
I'm not sure I agree with your statement: "Any and all conversions from
one program to another result in another opportunity for something
getting mucked up in the process." We've had incredible success
converting FRPs to PDF by using an HPLaserJet 4s PostScript driver. Of
the hundreds of forms we've seen very few artwork problems in this
conversion. I don't know if it's the marriage of that format (FRP) and
that PostScript driver, but since we've started using it (years ago) we
have not needed to change. "If it 'aint broke - don't fix it."
Word, on the other hand, has almost always given me headaches in this
regard. Go figure.

Well yes, it is all about the fields. I am not so concerned with the
'look' of the form as Word or most other programs can give me that, but
rather then ability to easily create the fields and associated
_javascript_ validation and such. Forms programs will easily be able to
create a form from a blank sheet with all the built in tools that you
will need to complete a form to the very end. Creating text and
manipulating _javascript_ is just not natura! l nor easy with Acrobat 6 as
it wasn't really designed to be a form creation tool per se but rather a
program to enhance an existing document with form capabilities.
As an interesting example though is the conversion of a Word document to
pdf and the resulting wrap and such that happens when you make the pdf
is the margins and such are not just right. Any and all conversions from
one program to another result in another opportunity for something
getting mucked up in the process.
