Typing on un-editable forms

Applying to College
1

<p>Is there any program that lets you type on PDF forms that aren't editable? (If that makes any sense)</p>

2

<p>Paperport has that feature.</p>

3

<p>Adobe Acrobat Professional. Your school/local library may have it. If not, it might be worth your while to purchase a (relatively cheap) academic license for use during the application season. An academic license of Acrobat Pro goes for $129, which seems like a lot until you realize how much the entire application process will end up costing you.</p>

<p>HTH</p>

<p>i bought Adobe Professional some time ago. I use that to fill it in. It's nice.</p>

<p>If it's not to difficult to explain, could you tell me how? I know that sounds stupid, but I downloaded a 30-day trial, and can't figure out how to do anything but add comments or completely replace form boxes with text. When I made a text box, it covered up everything behind it. Oh, the confusion.</p>

<p>There is software called PDFill Form Filler that supposedly will let you "fill in" a .pdf with having to pay Adobe Acrobat's outrageous price. It's sort of like shareware, if you know what this is. </p>

<p>It's kinda lame how it works, and has a free trial version that people refer to as "crippleware" because it places a watermark across the filled-in page so that everyone knows you haven't paid for the product. </p>

<p>It's only $19.99, so what can you expect. The product DOES work. It's just slow and ackward to use IMHO.</p>

<p>Use freeware, shareware and crippleware at your own risk. Some software is really good and useful while other is just plain crap.</p>

<p>usually school libraries will have copies of educational softwares (mine has). maybe you want to check with local libraries or cyber cafes to see if they have those programs.</p>
