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.

I told you I was stupid.
Can you please recommend a cheap, easy to use, pdf. editor?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
John

Generally speaking, you should not be editing a PDF file. It's supposed to the final step in the document production workflow.

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.
Get ready! An upgraded Adobe Community experience is coming in January.
