If you will not use grants.gov for the submission, and thus encourage
agencies to flaunt OMB guidelines, why not use the Viewer to prepare
the application, print to pdf, edit that file, then print?  Then even
"white-out" sections you want blank.

Does there exist online anywhere an interactive PDF format for the SF
424 (R&R) version 2 forms? Our funding agency allows application via
the traditional paper process but provides the forms only in either a
PureEdge Viewer format via grants.gov or in a non-interactive PDF
format via their agency website.

If I use the PureEdge forms but submit a paper copy, then signature
lines are pre-filled with "completed by Grants.gov upon submission,"
and certain fields do not allow entry of information in the same way
that the paper forms would permit (e.g., box 16 in the SF 424 cover
-- list of additional Congressional Districts). We prefer to submit
via paper since the agency requires hard-copy signatures to be
submitted even if we did submit via grants.gov.

Thus... I am searching for the interactive PDF version of the SF 424
(R&R) ver. 2.0 so I don't have resort to a (eegad!)... TYPEWRITER.
