At the moment I'm just bumming around because after 27 years of working at the same place I think I deserve a rest however the Jobcentre have told me to apply for a certain job which meets my experience perfectly.
I've gone onto the site and it says to download the application form, fill it in and email it back.
Now I'm pretty good with software and I can easily find what I'm after but asking the majority of people to download a PDF file, edit it and then send it back is asking a bit too much.
Perhaps thats the test.
 
Unless they mean downloads the PDF, print it. Actually write on the paper using....i think they are called pens and post it back prehaps?

edit. no you metioned you have to email it back...maybe it is a test
 
lol that is a bit unfair now you mention it. Surely common sense would have said word document?

Good luck with the job. :) Sorry you can't bum around. :p
 
You can't edit the PDF (unless they have made a special edited one).

Print it, fill it out, scan it, email it back.

Better yet bung it in the post.
 
I was arguing with my mate about this, is pdf a standard format or an adobe thing, is there a legal way to edit the doc without buying Adobe? Considering it costs £100s why do we use them???
 
There is something you can download called Nitro PDF which allows you to edit PDF's. It all depends on the Author of the PDF. When we create ours we embed an encryption key to prevent editing. Most people are unaware of this and assume all PDF's are secure.
 
Download it, convert it to Word fill it in convert it back to PDF e-mail it...

Job's a good'n. :D
 
plenty of free pdf editing software out there.
And some PDF forms allow you to edit or enter fields, but you may not be able to save changes you can at least print.

Print Screen x 3 (or so).

Paste into Image Editing Software (e.g. Photoshop).

Align/Crop.

Save.

Done! :D
 
Perhaps the test is emailing it back in PDF format.
I have sourced some PDF to Word and PDF editors but what a bummer.
The PDF editor requires you to create a new text block for every question which means I'll be here until midnight.
 
When we ran our graduate scheme at work last year we created a PDF form which the applicants could edit then save before sending back to us.

Wikipedia said:
Portable Document Format (PDF) is the file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is fixed-layout document format used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a 2-D document (and, with Acrobat 3-D, embedded 3-D documents) that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2-D vector graphics that compose the document.

PDF is an open standard, and recently took a major step towards becoming ISO 32000.
