Word2003 PDF Fax help.....

[Jack Slater]

I have PDF forms. I want to enter data in them and be able to fax them. I
don't want to have to process paper and envelopes and stamps. I have
Office2003. WinXP Home. USR Fax modem. Can I open/convert these PDF forms
so I can enter data?

What fax program do you propose using or are you going to use the Windows XP
Fax service?

XP fax software. Shows up as printer in MSWORD 2003. Can I do? Is there a
way enter data in the PDF form or convert the PDF to Word?

You can do it. Open the form in Acrobat Reader. Use the snapshot tool to
copy the entire page as an image. Open a blank document in Word. Click
View|Header and Footer. Place the cursor in the header,and hit control-v to
paste the image in the header. You will need to make appropriate
adjustments to the margins. The form will be a background on which you can
type. It may help with placement of your text to put some text boxes on the
page.

Frank,

Did as you suggested - Ctrl-V (inside the header) but that only pasted a row
of 12 numbers! Undo then I used traditional paste and it did lay the image
on the document but I sure can't type on it. Its just like a picture file
was pasted there.

What am I missing?
