Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Help: .pdf to be written on

[Steven Cox <coxs@WCDE.ORG>]

Sounds like a job for the "text field tool" in Acrobat Pro. To get  
started-- choose Tools > Advanced Editing > Text Field Tool ( or Show  
Forms Toolbar). Create a form box by dragging the cross-hair pointer  
over a graphic area in the organizer. You can then double-click the  
box to set its properties -- font, text size, allow multiple lines of  
text, and more.

Note: This approach will not allow Acrobat Reader users to save  
filled-out PDF forms.

Good luck.
