Program to mark up PDFs?

One of my professors enjoys posting lecture notes in PDF forms...only they (intentionally) leave a few things blank to force you to show up in class (not that I mind).

I don't have a tablet PC, but I'd like to be able to at least type up the blank info. Is there a program out there that can manipulate PDFs like that?

 

One solution is to read PDF's like a .html document, and you can either copy paste it to a document program and fill in the blanks.

 

What I would end up doing is using the Scanning program I have (it can scan or read files) and translate the PDFs to either word, or an editable PDF. It might be a weird solution for you, but if you can find ReadIris Pro 10 around, it should be cheap now (version 11 has been out for several months), it does a really good job, and is rather useful to have on your computer.

 

Does CutePDF writer work?

I dont know if you can edit existing stuff though.

 

Foxit Reader can do that. And it's free.

 

Have you used it before?

 

I've used FoxIt. It works well. It appears the new version includes a free annotation tool that might do what you need. It's free, so give it a try and if it doesn't meet your needs, you can uninstall.

I don't know why Adobe Reader doesn't come with some simple tools. I've kept Acrobat 5.0 because it was the last version that included the ability to create forms. Now that's sold separately in Pro. Arrrggghhh!

 

Well, I've been checking out FoxIt, but the only problem is that it marks up the PDF with "Edited by FoxIt, etc, etc." It is working, but that red watermark is literally covering up some important stuff in my notes .

 

I think the pro version gets rid of that.

 

I went ahead and got the Pro version...thanks for everything!
