Hello List!

I need to enter data into a pdf file and print it. I can view the
pdf using evince but I can't seem to enter any data into the fields.
How can I do this?

I remember from my dad's experience at work, where he does this very act
on an extremely regular basis, that you need the professional version of
Adobe Acrobat in order to enter data into fields; not even the regular
Acrobat Reader would do the job. Evince won't work because it's only a
viewer, similar to Acrobat Reader. I don't know about free software
alternatives.

Acrobat reader is available from the unofficial debian repository at
www.debian-multimedia.com. With the additional plugins available from
this site, it does allow filling of forms in pdf format.

HTH

It sure does. For a minute there I though I hit a show stopper. I have it
installed on my laptop and it works as needed so I can get it installed when
I get back to work and we'll be good to go.

I don't see any acroread package on the amd64 box but that's not critical (at
this point).

Thanks for the replies.. :)
