Variation forms

#1 Post by Pete »

I think this may have come up before, but does anyone know if there's a way (s/ware?) to call up a form in .pdf format and type straight into it?

Pete, I've been usung these - or similar - for a while now. I think most forces all use +/- the same forms. Just download 'em, and you can save/edit them to your hearts content. ;)

I can download the form and open it, but I can't type anything into it.................I tried a so-called "free" pdf editor, which has worked, but adds a watermark when I try to save/print it unless I cross their palm with (much) silver...........

Nope. I didn't get it.....line highlights in pale blue, but typing has no effect.

It works fine for me. Download and choose 'open', not 'save', and you can then fill the form in (and save results etc). I've been using this for years without a problem.

Acrobat Reader is completely free, no subs :)

if you want a free photo editing package Photoscape isn't bad :)
