Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

All is well that ends in pizza.

I've marked the post.

My office uses Whalemail, which is good, but not free.

Coding and Sleeping

Well, I've moved my main computer at home to Linux finally settling on SUSE. My secondary computer is still Windows for recording TV, some games I don't play very often, and for handling CorelDraw projects until I've found a good replacement or perhaps get WINE to run CorelDraw.

Thanks for all the suggestions, people (esp. Consuela!).

If I have a non-editable PDF, what are my options for typing stuff over it while on my computer (as opposed to printing it out and using a typewriter)?

I suppose I could open it in photoshop and use the text tool, but that seems unnecessarily complicated. Any (new) suggestions?

Jon, the PDF doesn't have fields for you to fill in? How crass.

My coworkers just fill such things out in pen.

There are a bunch of PDFs I need to fill out. Some are fill-out-able, some are not. But even the ones that are fill-out-able, I've found that there's not enough room to enter my answer, and the font size doesn't seem to be adjustable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, there are several on the IRS website like that. How very un-useful.

Speaking of PDFs, is there an innexpensive program that will allow you to modify them? I'm thinking here not of forms but of simple copies of documents. What I'd like to do is the equivalent of underlining or writing notes in the margin.
