A little off topic but... (PDF file help)

Guys,

I'm sorry. This isn't strictly music related but I need help. I have a pdf file in adobe reader. Its an application form for a youth music leader job that needs to be in on 06/01/06.

My handwriting looks like it has been written with a quill held between my toes so I want to type it.

I want to be able to type in the forms but I have no idea how. I just get a hand that drags the document up and down.

The help file is not helpful and when I copy it to word I'm no better off.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Merry Christmas,

Flashy.

Ya, you cant type in the reader as it is only that, a reader. You should however be able to go up to the top and click on file to get the drop down menu and choose the save as text option and it will save a .txt file to were ever you would like. Then you can open it in notepad or whatever. Be warned though that if there are boxes and such in there it will not create those, just plain text.

However, I think I read that Open Office does pdf as well. You might go have a look there, and its free by the way. www.openoffice.org
