Friends I have to fill up a Govt return which contains 6 pages and are in PDF. They do not give option to fill up the form directly in the computer. What we have to do to take printout of the form and then have to manualy filled up the form. I have do so.
But is there any way/software to edit the required field and fill up the form directly in the computer and take print out. If it is possible the form will be neat and clean as the fields are very small/narrow to fill up by hand.

You'd probably need a PDF Editor software like Adobe Acrobat (Not reader, just Adobe Acrobat).

Or alternatively, I guess you could print it in a slightly magnified size somehow?

But doing this will give the impression of a Xerox/Photo copy than a proper filled up original form, its better if you fill it by hand. Who cares about neatness in small fields anyway? :)

1) take a printout and manually fill up the form
2) use Adobe acrobat (a.k.a abode writer. this isn't adobe reader).

I don't think Govt will accept PC editing of the form. Not sure though. Better check with them. If they accept such way, use Adobe acrobat.
