    PDF Help

    Good morning all

    I know this is a Excel forum however.

    I have a Australian Government pre made PDF document that has boxes
    that I need to fill in, is there a program that will allow me to fill in the
    required information in the boxes.

    I have attached the sample document

    Thank you

    Peter

    One I have learnt over the last few months, " You are NEVER too old to learn ".
    Sometimes I forget to say " Thank You " for your assistance, so here I say " A BIG Thank You. "

    This is not an editable form - it's not designed to be filled in digitally. However, any PDF editor (NOT viewer) will allow you to edit the text fields and type over the boxes, giving the impression of them being filled. I use PDF X-Change Editor: https://www.tracker-software.com/pro...xchange-editor

    There are plenty of free options out there.

    However, and here's the rub: in the time it would take you to download some software, work out how to use it and then fill the form in, you could have filled it in by hand at least five times over. My suggestion would be print it out, fill it in by hand, then scan it and send the scanned copy digitally.

    Then Google free PDF editors, or invest in the one I have suggested.

    This looks as if it will work for you: https://edit-pdf-online.com/?gclid=C...BoC3iIQAvD_BwE

    I drag and dropped your file in and it opened with nicely editable text fields.

    All I did was Google "free PDF editor".
