Editing an Adobe Application Form

Saints11 · Post by **Saints11** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 5:03 pm

For a job I am applying for I have to fill in an application form, which is .pdf file, opened with Adobe if that means anything to anyone. However when opening the application form I am greeted with the message. . .

'Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed in this form'

Obviously I tried saving it with a few details filled in, but it did not work.

So in laymans terms, how the fuck do I fill it in and attach it to an email so I can apply for this position?

Are you using Adobe Reader? I had to use that to fill and send a pdf back to my previous employers. It also allowed me to sign the document digitally aswell

PDFs are read only documents.

You'd need a full version of Adobe Acrobat in order to edit it. Adobe Reader won't allow you to edit a PDF.

It's part of the interview. Sorts men from boys

Can you print it out then send it in an envelope? Guess all job apps are all email only now.

You can edit it for free online via http://www.pdfescape.com/ , Haven't tried the website myself but worth a go i suppose unless you can get your hands a pro version of acrobat.

Job hunting is thoroughly depressing, but it is actually nice to be back which I'm pleasantly surprised about, actually enjoying the cold weather in weird way.
