PDFs help

[sr71]

I need some help I'm trying to fill out a PDF application. I can't seem to type in my info. I've got the curse on the page but it won't type?

Thanks

Unless you have Adobe (not the reader, but the actual PDF software), or the PDF doc was SPECIFICALLY designed for you to fill it out online (unlikely) you'll need to print it out and write on it.

NASA spent $1.5 million dollars developing a "space pen." The Russians, faced with the same problem, used a pencil.

False!

Snopes to the rescue!

Not every PDF application will let you fill in information.

If you do want to have it typed and looking nice, try www.pdfescape.com

Also, also, Adobe was kinf of assy and a lot of the features supported in newer PDF versions (including the ability to perform validity checking of user-entered form data) is done with JavaScript.

Check that JavaScript is enabled in the Reader under "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "JavaScript" (left-side menu) -> "Enable Acrobat JavaScript"

(If this was the problem, you should have gotten an error message when opening the PDF. Or, possibly your reader version is an older one.)
