kudos where they belong

While I am really really NOT a fan of Adobe or Adobe products, I gotta say that the new Reader 7.0 has a neat trick. It is a really nasty install and if you aren't careful you get one ugly ass toolbar added to your IE browser.

But it is fast and it lets you fill in a form! I got a PDF of a 1099 IRS form and filled it out on my screen and sent it to the printer all ready to fax. Easy peasy and you can save a copy of the filled out version.

Very nice.

i don't think that's a feature of acrobat 7

i've been able to do that with version 6 of the reader application. problem is that too many folks use acrobat to make forms but they expect you to write on the forms instead of typing in them (which seems to be a no-brainer to me).

You may well be right - seems like maybe I had version 5 on this machine... I'd just never seen that option before.

Thanks for the heads up on Adobe Reader, also on the "Yahoo Toolbar" that I managed to escape. I upgraded it with no problems, I hope.

1099? Did you hire someone?

[susandennis]

Nope I didn't hire. I'm a 1099 employee myself. The guy who holds the contract with Microsoft (David) is the one who needed the form - He bills Microsoft for my work and I bill him.
