Adobe .PDF files/formats?

Just downloaded a PDF file, now i need to fill in some details and send it back to where i downloaded it from... anyone know how to ?

transfered the file into Words but when trying to open the doc. it still comes as a PDF file

thanks in advance

 

thought that was the point of PDF.

The fact it can be view on any pc or mac in the same format the designer intended it to be in. without being altered.

May be wrong

 

so there's no way i can fill in the required fields?

 

Open the pdf with Adobe Acrobat Reader - that should allow you to fill in the form fields (if the pdf has been created for this purpose correctly - it could just be a pdf for downloading and printing) and then submit the form back (if enabled), or print & mail - otherwise you'll need the full Adobe Acrobat to save and email the file back.

 

that's what i did, saved it onto my pc but problem is that when i open the file i cannot fill in the required fields...

i do have the complete version of Adobe Acrobat Reader on my pc so there must be a way to manage this...
