Over-writing a PDF file..

hieveryone

I am trying to apply for a job that has its application form in the form of a PDF. However, when I open it, it is a form which cannot be over-written. Aside from emailing and asking them (and risk looking totally stupid), is there any way this can be over-written by me?

Thanks

The online pdf is usually just a quick, cheap way of distributing a form. Print it, fill it in (with a ballpoint) and post it.
If you want to be really clever and impress them no end, print it, fill it in (with a ballpoint), scan it to a pdf file and email it back to them. You can then spend the first five minutes of the interview telling them how you did it.:)

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately printing and filling in is not an option, as job is in Dubai and closes soon. Also, it states in the description that the application form must be returned to an email address. I have no scanner.

I have PDfill - it's easy to set up and use but does cost $20.

In the simplest case, you could screendump the form to a bitmap, and go from there...
There are free PDF to Word converters about.

I used this once: http://www.bbconsult.co.uk/Resources/PDFFormFiller.aspx

but it was so much hassle I might aswell have just printed it and filled it by hand instead
