If you download the Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 version, you can fill in
inactive forms by using the typewriter tool. Wild! You can even create your own
forms or make inactive forms active through other processes. My school is going
to install version 7 on my laptop for free because I have a vision problem and
really need this software. Cool! The most incredible thing it can do is to take
material that you cannot read with their out loud read function and rescan it
again to make it readable.

print them would be great! There was one form once a
few years ago on which I could do that--I don't
remember what it was--but if that one company or
government source was able to make it possible I don't
see why others can't. Let's hope.
