Adding text to a PDF file

littleminx_2

Hello all,

I have been sent a form to fill in from my employer, who has requested to send it by email only, and I have to fill in my personal details for their records. This has been sent to me in PDF format, where there is a box I have to type each letter I write, I am struggling because as I am adding text it all goes wonky and is not straight, or it completely misses a box altogether. What am I doing wrong and what would be the best way to fill it in?

Many thanks in advance

Scan it, print it out, fill it in by hand and then rescan, convert to PDF and email.

Or email your employer back and ask him to send it in an editable format such as Word?

Edit in Acrobat.

Try "Typewriter" feature in PDF-Viewer - https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer - the free version is adequate for your needs.

or you can get a free download from Adobe of an old, but still working version of Acrobat Pro (which allows full editing of PDFs) from https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?pid=4485850&e=cs2%5Fdownloads - CS2 for Windows !!
