Nothing at all to do with the comic. by nin_man2001-05-19 11:24:11
  It's a lame technique but it may work... by ChicoScience 2001-05-19 11:45:13
Convert the pdf to image files (screen capture or whatever) and put the images into word.. Then set it so the image layout is behind the text, and type over the fields. It's lame, but it just might work. In situtations like that though, I usually just print it out and scrounge around for some sore of archaic print device people refer to as a typewriter. Usually museum curators like to prove theirs are functional by allowing stragglers such as yourself or desparate grad students to use them.

Another thought is... No one expects technically oriented people to actually know how to write. The more specialized and capable you are, the less likely you are to ever actually operate a pen or pencil for anything other than signing something. Hence Doctors and their illegible prescriptions... Or techies whose writing looks like a cross between bantu and sanskrit with a hint of romulan. Think! Your chickenscratch may actually be a qualifier for the job. But then again, resourcefulness in being the only person to print out their application with your text on it could also signify your status as alpha geek.

Ciao, C.Sc.
