HJmm,

Cheers,

The last couple of versions of Acrobat (6.0 & 7.0, I believe)
have support for forms with areas that can be filled in by
the user. It's also possible to re-save the form with those
same areas filled in (if the original document creator desires).
That's all just using the (free) Acrobat reader. The original
form needs to be created using the full Acrobat product, of course,
but the end user only needs the reader.

Hi Ann,
I I guess one needs Acrobat and not an acroba reader for putting stuff
into a pdf file. Readers are just readers and in say acroread you can
put text in text fields but text cannot be saved. For saving text one
needs an acrobat editor like acrobat. The ordinary acroread wont do. The
question is which wordprocessors/other programs can edit a pdf file?
Cheers,
Ronald

Ann, I make a living coaching people in how to

And most of all how to keep things _simple_.
I wouldn't recommend a piece of software, or a
web site, unless I had used it myself and found
it safe, reliable, functional and useful.
Only then is it good enough for my customers.
Or my friends.
Been at it for 30+ years, no lawsuits yet. ;-)
Give it a try, it's rather fun!

Don , I have a willing person to do it for me -
that is the best of all :)
I'm neurotic about some of this stuff - I'm not
judging your choice, most
of you here are so much more savvy in many techy
areas I'm in awe... you cant
imagine the lack of savvy I have in these areas -
and I have such a hard time
retaining ANY info these days - it is just too
daunting for me.
(At this point I'm starting to feel guilty about
sending my lurker friend
the CD - :) )
My dream for the calendar - which I think doesnt
exist - is to have it in a form
so that someone can input their schedule into each
box on the page without
anything else moving around - somewhere in the
dark recesses of my mind
was the idea that one could do this with a PDF
file...
back to cooking dinner -
friend about to arrive

Hi Ann, I left this on the list because it may be of
use to others.
If you go to www.download.com and search for:
"PDF Printer Driver" or "Convert to PDF" or
"Print to PDF"
you will find several small programs that install
like a printer driver.
You then simply print _any_ document to it and it
turns it into a .PDF file.
Some are free, and some are very cheap.
Look at the rating on downloads.com, it tells you
which ones people have found the most useful.
I use one called "docuPrinter LT" from
http://www.neevia.com/
it works very well for me and several of my
customers.

Don
I actually got an offer for a conversion and I'm
taking him up on it.
I'm a little leary of downloading stuff from the
web and have a few
serious techno gaps in my so-called brain. though
the file is a document,
it needs to be able to hold onto the right color
space (I may be making this up
though:) :)
The only reason I have for putting it in PDF
format is so that the document
would be read only for people who wanted and were
able to print out the
calendar for themselves more cheaply and better
than I can.
