After reading the posts about PDF and needing to buy Adobe Acrobat program to edit them, why would anyone want to use it rather than .rtf? What am I missing? Why wouldn't it be easier to use .rtf and then move them to whatever word processing program?
The only reason I've picked up in the discussions so far is that others wouldn't be able to change the work one has done. Do other reasons exist?

You can open your PDF in Acrobat, then add the fields/boxes yourself. It's tedious, but once you know how there are lots of shortcuts and techniques for doing overlays and duplicating fields. I use that technique for many things I do, but haven't tried it yet with a Legacy generated PDF. -Dick Michael F.
