The Acrobat Reader product is designed to read .pdf files created by the 'full' Acrobat product (which of course costs).

As far as I know, the only way to edit .pdf files is to buy the full Acrobat.

Adobe have done a good job of establishing their format as 'the standard', by giving away many millions of copies of their Reader, thus compelling anyone who wants to create or edit .pdfs for that market to buy the commercial product.

35280 2002-02-12 05:03:00 It seems that someone who makes a form available can create a 'fillable' type.

This would require the creation software which is not free. Have a look at:
www.ins.usdoj.gov

for a description of the system.

The forms can be filled and printed out while on line.
