| Summary | 0013148: Convert scanned form in to fillable PDF form | ||||
| Description | I opened a scanned form in PDF format in Scribus 1.5 and, to my surprise, it recognized all the check boxes and lines. I then right-clicked on a line, selected Convert to, but unfortunately the option PDF Text Field is missing. Same for PDF Check Box. What I would like is that selecting a line and then converting it to PDF Text Field results in Scribus automagically inserting a text field with the same width and a reasonable height (with a corresponding font size). I have long wanted to be able to convert a scanned form to a fillable form and I believe this is a recurrent need for a lot of people. Unfortunately, many universities are unaware of the existence of Scribus and are still producing forms that have to be printed and filled in by hand. I am aware that Acrobat Professional can automatically do what I want, but I only use Linux and free software. Thank you for making this wonderful application! | ||||
