A co-worker suggested to take a look at software called "word to pdf." In his opinion this free program would allow you to create fields in .pdf-documents you can later on fill information in. I do not know if this solves your problem.
That is exactly what I need.
i tried it and it didn't automatically convert any fields into PDF format that I can add info , nor did I see an option to create a PDF with fields to edit. It doesn't seem any different from the other pdf programs out there. If you could, ask your co-worker if he has created editable pdfs in that program and how he did it.
From what I can tell is that whomever wanted to use the PDF to edit it, they would have to convert back to word. A few of my players don't have MS word. I need to create editable pdf's where they can enter info in the fields as a pdf. Otherwise not converting it back and forth from word to pdf to word to pdf, etc....
There is a HARP character sheet in the vault made by cute pdf where you can do that. It was made using a trial version that lasts for only 30 days. That character sheet is out of date with the recent rules "enhancement".

P.S I am uncomfortable with saying "enhanced rules", I think I will start saying HARP version 1.2 (or would it be 1.3 or higher at this point?), not a new edition, just an update.
