OT - Editing a PDF file in Windoze

[Tim Bogart]

All,

I have been asked to provide information as part of a job application.  In the 
first part of the process, this was done on the web.  Now in this next phase, I 
have been asked to provide information by filling out forms.  They would prefer 
to have an electronic version of this data.  Unfortunately, they have sent me a 
document in .PDF file format.  As we all have known for 20 years or more, these 
files are normally set to disallow editing, as this one is.  I'm familiar with 
pdf2txt and the rest of the manual tools.  I could go to the local service 
bureau and print out twenty of them, but I don't want to spend three days doing 
this.  Open office doesn't seem to be able to open a pdf formatted file.  Does 
anybody know of a free (as in beer or freedom) application that runs on windoze 
that will allow me to edit this file?  I tried something called "Foxit" but it 
doesn't work as advertised.  You can't edit text with it.  It acts simply as a 
viewer.  Does anybody have personal experience with something that's free that 
actually works?

TIA,

-- Tim B.
