I want to fill out a .pdf application and for some reason it won't let me input, even though I get a flashing cursor when I click on a field. I'm using Acrobat 9, and when I check the properties of the file it says filling of form fields is "allowed". Why can't I do it then? I'm using the free version--is this something I have to get the payed version to do? Thanks for any tips,

you meant Adobe Reader 9, not acrobat.
Acrobat would let you fill in. if you don't have that , just get a converter from PDF to WORD and edit it

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing! How come some of the PDF formats I could fill in on the computer and some of them won't let me type?
