Make PDF fill forms

Hello Experts,

Please recommend software to make PDF files for form fill. Yes, I know that Adobe Acrobat is the obvious answer but are there other LEGAL options?

I would be useing MS Word and MS Excel to make forms.

Thanks

I use LibreOffice Draw. It's based off of the OpenOffice application suite.

I alreday use CutePDF and don't paying for the professional version to get the extra functionality.

To be clear on andrewmcc's comment, CutePDF Writer is free (and is a terrific product that I've been using for many years), but that's not what you need to create PDF fillable forms. The CutePDF product you need to create fillable/interactive fields on forms is CutePDF Professional:
http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/Pro.asp

It is not free, but at the current price of $49.95 is pretty reasonable.

Another reasonably priced product at $19.95 is the PDFill PDF Editor:

I've never used this, so I can't attest to it, but I've heard good reports on it and they a free evaluation:

The free eval will place a watermark on the PDFs, but you'll certainly be able to tell if it does what you need. Regards, Joe

@Tucktech,
Our posts crossed in cyberspace. I see that you figured out that the Pro version of CutePDF is needed. I'm sure it will work well for you. Regards, Joe
