PDF forms - how to make PDF editable?

[erick_p]

Hi

I have a PDF form to fill, but it is uneditable (dont know when government organizations will learn how to make editable ones!). One approach to fill it would be to convert it to Word format - which seldom works, all those freebies convert PDFs into horrible word documents full of text boxes which is a pain to work with. Does anyone know what else I can do -- can I have textboxes inserted into PDF itself? Can I make the PDF editable?

Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks Steve, I am happy to buy it, but can I buy an existing PDF (made by someone else) and make it editable?
