Hello all,

Here is a general interest ERA (electronic research administration)
question.  One facet of ERA is that many of us download various agency
forms from the web using Adobe Acrobat.

Has anyone had any success making those pdf (portable document format)
forms into "interactive" forms using Acrobat 3.01?  Note that that is the
software you pay for, as opposed to the free software available at
http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html  for reading and
printing pdf files from websites (quite useful by the way).

The problem we are having is: we download and print these agency pdf forms,
and then have to use a typewriter to fill them out.  Has anyone made
progress in this area? or is there a better method for doing this?

Many thanks in advance!
