How, when I download forms, do I fill them in on my computer, instead of printing out and typing by hand?

Question

There's got to be a better way. I just don't know how to do it. Example, I downloaded a free real estate for from a website. How or where do I send it so I can fill in in on the computer and not have to pullout my old typewriter? Also, every time I try to scan disk tells me to quit some programs because it keeps restarting. But I'm not using any! Somebody said to do something with MS config, but I don't know how to do that either. Thanks.

That's what I'm asking. I have Adobe, but I don't know how to do it. How do I download and fill in the forms?

Answer 1

In order to be able to fill out PDF forms on the computer the person who created the PDF file would have had to actually create them as an electronic form. Unfortunately many people/organizations don't know how and/or don't take the time to do that...so you're stuck with the old fashioned method. When they do it correctly, you can just open the file in Adobe Reader and can click in the form fields.

If you want to create your own forms, you would need Adobe Acrobat Professional.

I'm afraid I can't help with the other problem.

Answer 2

In re filling out forms on the computer, download Adobe Acrobat this program should allow you to fill out forms then print them.
