Hallelujah! I just found software to make ATX organizers fillable!

Curious, if this can be accomplished using Adobe Acrobat X (since I already have it).

I downloaded Foxit PhantonPDF Standard and ran Form Field Recognition and it did a fabulous job making the organizer fillable! Each organizer will have to be opened and converted separately, but I can have an intern type do this. A big organizer took about 20 seconds and a small one took less than 1 seconds to convert.

I have been using it for about 3 years.  Somebody here might have mentioned it.  Anyway, it is GREAT and has a lot of very useful features, not just in creating fill ins, but also being able to easily move, delete, rearrange pages and add files to one another. You can correct typing errors on tax returns without having to reprint any forms and it is easy to type in a document.   It password protects, has e-signature and many many more features.  I love it!

Back when I was researching this, Foxit Phantom did not have this feature. I use Foxit reader and I had used an old PDF editor of theirs, so I naturally checked with them first. Glad to see that they've added this feature. I'll get a trial after tax season.

Thanks!

It may not have all the bells and whistles of Adobe, but it has everything that I need. The version I have was a one-time $69 - much cheaper than Adobe.
