Good call. As it turns out, it is a form you're supposed to print out and fill in with a pen. The thing that threw me is that there are instructions for emailing it in. Maybe after you fill it in, you can take a picture with your phone and email it in, the 21st century version of a FAX machine. Well, its OT now but I don't have a printer or even a pen for that matter. I converted the document to plain text, filled it in, and emailed that in. We'll see. PS: The form is to get wheelchair access to the rock climbing area in Devil's Lake State Park in Wisconsin. Its a trip organized by a group called Adaptive Adventures. It's too late for this year, but if anybody wants to try rock climbing, let me know. The big event each year is usually in Illinois but it got cancelled this year. So we're just doing an informal thing in Wisconsin. On 8/18/20 8:37 AM, Andrew Hodgson wrote:

Hi,

I have only had 2 proper PDF forms which I could fill in Adobe Reader without any help, most of them are just forms which need printing out in some way and scanning back in (i.e, just regular documents). Most of these type are from government agencies.

I am looking for a recommendation on the best way to fill out a PDF form. I'm a Linux guy and what I usually do when I get a PDF document is to convert it to plain text. But I have this form I have to fill out and send back. I have access to Linux, Windows, Mac, and IOS.

I tried just clicking on it in all 4 systems but what I got was either inaccessible or wouldn't let me make changes.
