See my comments, ANY form, whether image based or text base, can be
filled out using the current Adobe PDF Reader DC which is FREE. It is
also designed so that you can add a signature to that document. Caveat
is that you must scan your signature and added to the Adobe Reader.
Hi Keith,
Thanks for that admonishment, where are different kinds of PDFs, e.g.,
o A PDF of "something" (anything), which can be a bitmap for all we know
o A PDF of pure text of some format (which is the easiest to deal with)
o A PDF in a specific editable "form" format, which is a special beast
To be clear, we're talking about the 1st item above; not the latter two.

Ours were photocopies, IIRC. Or you could buy the expensive "real"
ones.
I always wondered why, in college, the graph paper was blue, and yet,
the Smith Charts were orange (or, later in life, green).
Just one of those things in life that we ponder...
Oh look! A butterfly!
Someone asked me to help them edit a multi-page PDF form where they
wanted it to look professional.
I'm always fascinated by this. Do they have the owner's permission to
modify the document? If so, why not get the source, edit it, and
regenerate the PDF. If not, this has the hallmarks of a breach of some
kind. We regularly get requests for this kind of thing, and we ask for evidence of permission first, evidence of ownership second, or evidence
of abandonment third. "Looking professional" wrt PDF forms really needs
the use of a designer and a document engineer.
