I am currently looking for a job and I am tired of filling out applications by hand and my hand writing sucks. I would like to take these applications and scan them to my computer so I can fill them out. Will Acrobat let me scan an application and the fill it out and them let me print out the completed form?
 
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
And what version of this should I get. X Standard, X Pro or recommendations on other programs out there.

Yes, Acrobat will do this, look up the Acrobat "Typewriter" tool. However, unless you are dealing with a lot of applications, or you are going to make this a business, Acrobat Pro is probably overkill. Look up the features for Acrobat Standard to see if it includes the Typewriter tool. You might want to post this question to other forums, such as www.planetpdf.com, to get a variety of answers.
