It has to be formatted to allow you to fill it out. If it is, then you just click in the fields and enter your data. I have, however, only seen one form like that in all of my computing days.

You must understand that a pdf is a glorified picture. Sometimes you can "write" on that picture or even search it for certain data. Having said that, it is possible for you to convert a PDF document to a word processing document. I don't know if the Adobe Pro does it, but I do know that you can do it with any myriad of distros of PDF viewers on linux. Get in touch with a computer junky that you know and have them convert it to Word for you, then you can edit it as you wish.

hi, not sure if i can explain it on here. but there is a way to make your own text fields and enter in data. its a pain, and takes a while, but when you're done u can just type in your answers. you need to make form fields, which can be text box, check box, etc... You just choose text box form field and basically its like making a text box in any other program. make it the size you want. Then you can select it and/or right click on it and change font, borders, etc... You will probably want to make them all the same size font. Hope this helps...if u decide to do it. converting it to word might take less time 🙂
