Typing on top of a pdf file...

[imported_fictionised]

G'day guys.

I'm looking for some kind of program that lets me type on top of pdf files and saves what I've typed. I ask this so I can type on top of lecture notes during lecture classes ...?

Thanks!

bump - instead of making a new thread i thought i'd just bump this one. I also need a program to fill out a PDF application, Adobe PDF thing can't do it.

foxit pdf reader will allow you to type in the pdf and print it BUT you cannot save.

Unless you also have cutePDF installed, in which you can save it to a new file via the print function

foxit pdf reader gives me one of those error report things everytime i try and open up a pdf file. Any other programs?

The pdf has to be created that way to make it editable. I have the full, recent version of acrobat and not all pdfs are created equal.

Print it to PDF first under FoxIt with CutePDF printer then open the printed PDF in FoxIt and try and edit that?

Bleh, i'll just print it out and write on it in person, though my handwriting is pretty bad.

Print it out and then print out an overlay sheet (white background and black text where you want the text to be). Then use your copier to stick the overlay sheet onto the form.

If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 or 7 .. then what you really need to do is make your Edits in Word
Here's how: .... In Acrobat save your file as .doc ... then under the File menu, click on Export to Word
It will open the file in Word .. now Edit it & when you are in Word it will resave it as .pdf again
