Hi my name is Kelly Vaughan I'm document geek and today I want to show you how you can use the tools within the free Acrobat Reader software in order to fill out a scanned form there's really no reason to print this off fill it out by hand and then find a scanner to scan it back into your computer you can do it all right here on your computer without any actual paper involved whatsoever so when I open up this PDF it comes in with this nice sidebar of tools here on the side I'm going to click on the comment tool and then notice up here this top toolbar is contextual so whatever tools that I have selected all the secondary tools within it are going to be grouped up here I'm going to click on the add text comment and basically this works as a typewriter you can type wherever you want it's great so just click type the name of your company if that's what your form field requires and you'll notice here that it's a little too low so I can just select this text comment here on the side and scoot it up a little bit then I can continue adding the rest of my information each time I click in the form it will create a new text comment over on the side and if you don't like the color or the font choice you can adjust that here under the text properties you can also use this text tool to add little X marks wherever you need a checkbox so there it is you can use the free tools within the Adobe Reader software to fill out a scan form it doesn't cost any money and it's much much easier easier than printing it out and filling it in by hand and using a scanner to get it back into your computer this way it's all here in your computer to begin with and the text is very legible because it's all computer fonts I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial if you like other that PDF tutorials please be sure to subscribe to my AK Rebeck commenting playlist here on YouTube thanks 1 00:00:00,0 -- 00:00:05,278 0 -- 5.279 hi my name is Kelly Vaughan I'm document 2 00:00:03,178 -- 00:00:07,259 geek and today I want to show you how 3 00:00:05,278 -- 00:00:10,80 you can use the tools within the free 4 00:00:07,259 -- 00:00:12,388 Acrobat Reader software in order to fill 5 00:00:10,80 -- 00:00:14,820 out a scanned form there's really no 6 00:00:12,388 -- 00:00:17,100 reason to print this off fill it out by 7 00:00:14,820 -- 00:00:19,140 hand and then find a scanner to scan it 8 00:00:17,100 -- 00:00:21,60 back into your computer you can do it 9 00:00:19,140 -- 00:00:24,480 all right here on your computer without 10 00:00:21,59 -- 00:00:27,0 21.06 -- 27 any actual paper involved whatsoever so 11 ...
