How to Type in Adobe Reader
Many people use Adobe Reader to open and print PDF files both at home and at work. You may be unaware that you can also use Adobe Reader to type, as well. This can allow you to make additions to the document or fill out parts of the form. The best part about using the Typewriter option in Adobe Reader is that it allows you to type without having to pay for a PDF editing program.
