I was planning on applying for this job and they have a PDF of their application online. Anyway to type in the fields in Adobe Acrobat? Would look nicer I think...
 
They have to setup the PDF as a *form*. Only then, otherwise, you would have to print it out and fill it in.

If I were to obtain the full adobe program, could I make it a form, or must it be created that way?

I'm not sure 100% percent, but I think so. Because I have taken a Word Document, converted it to PDF, then created my own little text boxes to fill in information. So basically, the only difference is you are taken an existing a PDF form, and trying to add to it. I'm not sure if they can put some sort of permissions on it to make it "read only" or some junk like that. So, I *think* you can. I'm not at my home computer, but I will check when I go home, and post it back here.

They can protect the file with a password, which you need something like :frown: to break. (DCMA)

Even if HR didn't set the nifty feature, if you're using adobe reader, you can't save anything you type.. making fill-in forms useless w/o the full version. I use them durning tax time.. and then factor the time of getting the software and creating the blanks, I'd recommend a typewriter.
Sorry

Edit: Don't download that if your a U.S. citizen. It's a felony
