You'll have adobe reader installed on your PC. All you can do is read...

The latest version of foxit supports PDF forms. (and is generally a better reader than Adobe anyhow)

Unless you have a pdf converter and can change it into Word, you can't. That's the point of .pdf, the recipient can't change it. You have to print it off and send it hard copy, or alternatively ask the sender if they can resend it to you in another format so you can type into it and email it back to them.

Ah yes...

Foxit reader will support forms as long as the people that produced the document made it as a proper PDF form, if they didn't and they intended for it to be printed out and filled in that way then no software will enable you to fill it in easily.

If no joy with Foxit, try this one: http://www.tracker-so...ct/pdf-xchange-viewer (just get the free version).

You can add in text boxes in the appropriate place. Not ideal, but it gets the job done. Not tried it, but I THINK you can do something similar in Open Office if you install an extra extension.
