I want to download a pdf file form, and just enter text in the spaces on the form- save and print it. I don't need to change the form.
Can this be done with acrobat 6.0 standard (or acrobat 5.0) easily-? i'm not a good teckie..

You can accomplish this task in Acrobat or Adobe Reader version 7 and above. Use the Typewriter tool to complete forms that don't have field boxes.

For version 6 viewers, you can only use Acrobat Pro or Standard. Select the TouchUp Text tool and press Control (Win) or Option (Mac) and click to enter a new body of text. (this method can also be used in versions 7 and 8).
