Best bet is to download some software to create a word doc from the PDF. The work doc can then be edited and once finished the PDF can be re-created.
Plenty of software out there with free trials - google PDF to word.
Hope this helps.

You need Acrobat Writer to edit PDF. This is quite an expensive bit of software so I suggest, convert it to another format, edit it and if required convert it back to PDF.
You an find some converting software free from www.download.com

I'd guess that if you've been sent it as a PDF then it's intended that you print it out and fill it in with a pen. Old fashioned I know!
As far as I understood, you can't reverse the PDF process.

Hi,
get Adobe Reader for free here http://j.mp/1jW635R
You need to have Adobe Flash Player to be able to open pdf files.
Hope it helps.

You're probably using adobe reader. To edit it you need the upgrade called adobe acrobat. I'm not sure if there are other pieces of software that also allow you to edit.
