freeware or low cost pdf form filler software?

Say, what can you recomend to fill in a pdf form and be able to save it and then export or email it?

I think adobe PDF viewer should be able to do this. If not try foxit reader. Both are foc.

I think not........

If you are looking for a tool to create pdf forms, yes then it cannot be done with adobe reader and you need acrobat.

But you are specifically asking about filing a pdf form, which can be done with adobe reader.

Can you explain what is the issue with adobe reader?
This is a desktop software, free of charge and can use to fill pdf forms.

this is what adobe says "Allow virtually anyone to fill in and save PDF forms using free Adobe® Reader® software*"

It sounded from that statement that they must be created with this option in mind.... I'm downloading version 9 to see if it allows filling in of my pdf...

Version 9 seems to only have a 30 day trial...?

The limitation is for acrobat only, reader is free.
