I found pdfedit the other day, and it works just fine. I don't know how acroread works, but with pdfedit, you just click on the field you want to edit, and a little box pops up to type in your text; The only thing that is a little funky, is that if you want your text to be on a level line, you need to be careful _where_ you click, but you can have a clean-looking pdf document with a little effort. pdfedit also has quite an extensive menu, with lots of stuff you can do to your document, etc. I didn't explore them as I was just wanting to fill out a form and send it along. Nice to have an open source alternative to Adobe's products. Chris W. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
