Assistance Please!

My son's window to submit his Eagle Scout project proposal is nearly closed.  They require

him to that the many paged project proposal / final plan be typed and submitted to them

online in a pdf. file.  I have downloaded Adobe Reader on my iMac but stupidly cannot figure

out how to upload a file to it to fulfill the above listed obligations.

Can anyone please help me?

    You can't edit or create PDF files using the free Reader, only display them.

    The thing about PDF files is YOU DON'T DO THAT. Instead, you make the file in whatever you'd normally make. Word perhaps. Pages. Word Perfect. Whatever you'd use to make something for printing.


    Then you CONVERT that to PDF.

    To make any correction at all, you change that original (not PDF), and make the PDF again. So the question to ask yourself is: what app would be good for typing this stuff out? And how do I make a PDF from that? Sometimes you have to buy extra stuff, sometimes not.

    I told you I was stupid. 

    Can you please recommend a cheap, easy to use, pdf. editor?

    I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    John
