Sorry, about that! These methods might work IF the form is simple. Logos and graphics will gum things up AND fonts don't always look the same. Better approach (although tedious) is to get Scribus (www.scribus.net) and install it. It's open source, so no expenditures for you! Open a new Scribus file, fiddle with the page settings, make an Image Frame (the button is in the button bar) that fills your page. Right click inside the Image Frame and select Get Image. Find the pdf. Next-to-finally, click the Text Frame button (next to the Image Frame button) and draw text frames where you want to write. Repeat this until the form is done. Scribus will export the file as a pdf. Alternatively, you can use pdfcreator to "print" to an Adobe file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
