I'm filling out an application for a student research position here on campus and they request that answers be typed if possible. The form is a .pdf, though, and I'm not sure how I would make this work. Is it even possible, or should I just print it and slap them when I arrive at the office?

Some PDFs let you fill in the form within Adobe. I discovered that today.

Dun kno how you get it back out of there though.

Copy it as an image then paste it into word and use text boxes. Simplicity ftw.

use adobe.  if they created the pdf properly, they probably defined text boxes in the document that you can type into, but it only works if you use adobe reader.

Nah, that was the first thing I tired. Peter's solution works, though. Thanks for the suggestion!

well then you should definitely slap them for making it so easy to fill out
