Adobe Acrobat (full version). Easiest way to do it is to add text box(es) and fill in the fields.

If you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat you can do this. I don't think Adobe Reader (free version) can do it.

you can buy the acrobat writer, they give out the reader free as you prolly already know, but they charge ya on the writer, you should be able to write on it with that. Dunno how expensive it is though.

Add text boxes using word??

Yep. You would have to import the .pdf file as an image and have at it with the boxes. Kinda crude, but gets the job done.

You could download a trial version of Acrobat if you don't want to buy it http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryout.html

you guys are so helpful, lol i'd be running around my office right now like a crazed idiot hahah.

I HEART YOU GUYS.... i HEART YOU MUCHO

Might be too obvious, sometimes it isn't offered but on a lot of .pdf's there is a little icon on your toolbar that looks like an text edit icon.

Then you just click on the box and type in what you need you can print it and the text will be printed as well. I did it with my passport form. I didn't have to put in anything by hand. Except for my signature.

Ok I Downloaded The Program Did The Text Box Thing ,and Now The Text That I Put In Won't Print Out, What The Hell Is Going On

Photic · 03-20-2006, 11:14 PM

It's printing everything but the text you entered?

Probably because you downloaded a trial version of acrobat. They probably disabled the print function. Try saving the modified PDF, opening it in the free version of acrobat, then printing it out. Might not work, but it's worth a try.

Look into some free PDF creators, one of them may do what you want to create or modify a PDF or convert it to another format. What you can do may depend on the security settings of the original document.
Try some of these from a search (I don't endorse any of them, not having used any):
http://www.pdf995.com/
http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp
http://www.primopdf.com/
http://www.visagesoft.com/products/pdfreader/ (claims notating and editing possible)

And you can try a search on your own, of course.
