Hi, I need to copy a pdf form, delete the filled in info, and insert new ones. Do you know a free program, not just free for trial? Thanks.

    So is it an actual PDF form? In which case you should be able to just delete previous completion using Acrobat Reader. If its not actually a proper form but a flat document that someone is asking to be completed without having setup the input boxes etc then you will probably have more luck with the various online PDF editors assuming you are comfortable giving this online site access to whatever data is in the PDF.

    or you could try and select all - copy and paste into a word doc - that sometimes works

    Thanks. It is an actual PDF form. I can't remember how I filled in and saved a previous one. Acrobat Reader  doesn't let me delete/edit previous completion. It is a proper form but I haven't found free (not just the trial) online PDF editors. And it seems that with Microsoft 365 I can create a pdf but I don't know if I can copy one, delete and add text.
