Buy Adobe Acrobat and you can add form fields.

Unless the creator of the file added fillable form fields, you can't fill it out with the free Reader application.

I downloaded an adobe reader pdf document from the internet. It is an application for school so I would like to type the information in instead of writing it in. So I am hoping there is a way to insert a text box and type my answers.

I'm not sure what that means. Do you have a PDF that you want to insert a fillable field in to? If so, do you have Acrobat Pro? That is required for this type of work.

>I tried to save the document as a bmp file as you suggested

I never suggested that. In fact, this is your first post to this thread. What seems to be the problem (there are a couple of issues in this thread)? Why are you trying to save to .bmp?

Also, you're right. You don't have that option from Adobe Acrobat. .bmp is more of a Microsoft thing.

It's been a long time since I've seen 4 but, I don't think it works on scanned documents.
