Just a little tip. I've had folks who received a PDF I filled out with textEdit say that the stuff I filled out wouldn't print. Not sure why that was but I cheated and re-printed it to a PDF on my end and that seemed to fix it. To do that, even if you don't have a printer set up on the Mac, you just hit command-P. This will pop a print dialog with various printer options including picking a printer. Mine said No Printer Selected. Anyway, ignore most of what's in that dialog and just after the help button you'll find a PDF Menu button and if you drop that down you'll find Save As PDF as the second option. In general, you can use this to make a PDF of most document and web pages. Might not always be super accessible since it's just redirecting printer output. That sometimes puts parts of the page out of order and other common problems, but it can be handy.

Curious question: if you fill out a pdf form in TextEdit, does it use rtf 
format? Do you then have to export it again to pdf, and does it retain the 
formatting?

thanks,

I never knew you could open PDFs in TextEdit. that's cool. I'll need to try 
this as I still have one Mac running Mountain Lion.
