Ok, I have an old word form with fillable fields I send to clients. I now have other pages I would like to include with the word doc that I created in InDesign. I would now like to import the word doc (keeping the form fields, there are 200) into Indesign, add the additional pages, then export to PDF. I would like to be able to send this to clients, have them fill in the fields, and return only that portion (where they filled in the info) of the document to me. Is this doable? Using XP and CS4. Thanks in advance for any help at all!
word to indesign to pdf and back?
InDesign doesn't do ''fillable'' form fields, not even, I think, if you place a fillable PDF form and re-export.
Acrobat has really good form recognition now, and building forms from a PDF is not the hardship it was a few years ago.

I concurr.
Do the layout in InDesign, create the PDF and use Acrobat to create a PDF form.
Publish the form on Acrobat.com and get live reporting from it. You can even export the filled in data in an Excel sheet or XML and filter it based on specific parameters.
Acrobat.com is completely free.
