I need some help. I've got some school applications that were downloaded and are a pdf format. I need to have these applications typed, but I don't have a typewriter. What is the best program to use to enter text into these pdf files? I've tried Adobe acrobat but couldn't find any way to enter text into the blanks, and word wouldn't open the pdf file. Thanks

If you have the full version of acrobat writer, you can enter test about half the time. Otherwise, this is the way I ussually do it. Open it up in reader, and zoom out so the full page is displayed. Hit printscreen. Open paint, photoshop, whatever, Past it in, and then enter text into the geaphic file, print, and you're done.

Why not just copy/paste the text into Word? I'm assuming the free reader can do this (I have Acrobat full ver). If so, open the pdf, hit Ctrl-a or drag the text tool across the text, then copy to Word.

Print them. Fill them out by hand. :)

You can also place them into Photoshop and type text into them that way...
