PDF (Adobe Acrobat) Snag

I download a .pdf form to my desktop, can print it out but that's not my snag. I'd like to fill in the form using my PC but it won't let me. I don't want to print it out then complete the blanks using an ink pen. Is this possible?

The only way I've aware of to edit a Acrobat document is using Adobe Acrobat (not Acrobat Reader).

Hi Sarge,

The only way you can complete the fields on a pdf is if it's been prepared to do so. The creator of the pdf would have needed to add "form fields" to the document. Those fields are what allow you to enter data. Other than that, Sonic is correct. You need the full version of Acrobat to add/edit text on a pdf.
