    Like the title asks. But even more specifically, perhaps a program that will allow me to enter and save data into PDF's like Acrobat Pro?

    Thanks

    hmm, well i dont really need to write PDF documents. Im just looking for something free and simple to view pdf's and be able to enter fields on the occasional application that comes around in pdf format. I searched that post to and couldnt find anyhting else.

    Any other suggestions?

    I use foxit reader and it is so darn nice and fast. I love the type writer feature.

    BEST OF ALL, no need to install it, I have it on my USB flash disk and use it everywhere, even when acrobat is available.
