      I'm using InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 and when I export my InDesign document to PDF and run the form wizard in Acrobat, it won't pick up on my text frames and convert them to form fields unless there is a border around the table that the text is in (it just returns “no new form field annotations were detected”).

      I don't WANT my text in a box in the form, any way to make this happen? I can get rid of the box in Acrobat afterwards with the touch up object tool, but it seems dumb I can't just start out the way I want. I tried a white line around the table in InDesign but that didn't work.

      A lot of people find they need to create a form one way for Acrobat to process it, and a different way for how a human should see it. That's why this Replace Pages tip is so good:
