PDF is a (more or less) high-res image file. Acrobat Reader only allows you to view it. To edit PDFs you can use the full version of Adobe Acrobat, but it costs some moulah. You probably should just print it off and do it by hand.

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!

IIRC, the 1040 online is an interactive form, so all you should need is Reader. You'll be able to click in form fields to fill it out and then print it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But if the PDF lets you enter data, i.e., is a form, you don't need the full version of Acrobat to do that. You should be able to do it with Acrobat Reader, because we do (on a PC).
I can't answer nothing about that confusing Mac stuff.

My PC is sluggish. Looking in Windows Task Manager at the Processes, it looks like java.exe is using a lot a CPU cycles. How can I find out what is calling java? Does iTunes use java?

Figured it out: it was the galleon.tv service I've got running with my Tivo. It's a cool app, but what a resource hog!

PDF is a (more or less) high-res image file.
It's a vector format.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a vector format.
It's hybrid. You can have a PDF that's just an embedded image (or embedded image and indexed invisible text). Or you can have one that's all vectors and text. Or somewhere inbetween.
