The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I think this may have come up before, but does anyone know if there's a way (s/ware?) to call up a form in .pdf format and type straight into it?

Pete

Pete if you come under the MET Police try this

;https://www.met.police.uk/SysSiteAssets ... m-201v.pdf

you can type directly onto it.

Pete, I've been usung these - or similar - for a while now. I think most forces all use +/- the same forms. Just download 'em, and you can save/edit them to your hearts content.

I can download the form and open it, but I can't type anything into it.................I tried a so-called "free" pdf editor, which has worked, but adds a watermark when I try to save/print it unless I cross their palm with (much) silver...........

Pete

Got it !! Needs a DOUBLE click to highlight the line, then Bob's yer muvvers bruvver!! .............thanks for the replies.
I think they've done this in preparation for online renewals etc.

Pete

Nope. I didn't get it.....line highlights in pale blue, but typing has no effect.

Pete

Just download the proper PDF reader, Adobe Acrobat, https://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/

make sure you untick the optional offers :)

Cheers Phaedra1106, that works ..............hope they don't expect a monthly sub, though. I just dumped Photoshop over that one.

Pete

It works fine for me. Download and choose 'open', not 'save', and you can then fill the form in (and save results etc). I've been using this for years without a problem.

Acrobat Reader is completely free, no subs :)

if you want a free photo editing package Photoscape isn't bad :)
