its funny you should mention pdf forms Yusuf. Can you actually download a
pdf form and fill it in while it's on the pc? I tried to do this once with
one pdf app form and I couldn't write into it at all! i just didn't know
how as, there was no carat and I couldn't think of a way to get the cursor
to change to a carat. so, i had to print out the thing and fill it in, in
the conventional way. A complete pain as application form filling is to me
anyway, I'd hoped to have been able to type mine up as, it would have been a
lot neater and more legible.
If only PDF files could be used in that way if they are application forms
and questionnaires.
