hi everyone this is james detective
masses today we're going to show you how
to edit PDF forms without using Adobe so
we're going to jump into internet
explorer and open that up and we're
basically going to go to a website here
you're going to type in www.eso.org
what this is a tool instead of using
Adobe Reader you will be able to edit as
you can see basically a minimum
requirements anybody can use it there's
no installations that's the best thing
and it's free you know that pay for like
you do with Adobe standard so you want
to continue using unregistered if you
want to register go ahead but you can
get away for our purposes with it being
registered so you have a form and you
can't do it with adobe reader what you
want to fill it out with this tool so
you go open file you want to bring up
that PDF file i have one here is like an
application for school just as an
example and i'm going to open that up in
here as you can see the PDF form does
open up and you have your different
checkboxes you just check what you want
put in your name all the other stuff you
know standard information as you can see
everything goes in pretty easily
and i found this to be very nice because
my think it's quite a bit of money to
download adobe standard and pay for so
this will maybe you to do it free
no installations very straightforward
easy to do you can see they have a few
different options up there to file the
edit the tools also me not to use but
they're there are their options are
there for you as you can see play around
with it look through it
so go back to file now you made your
edits that you want and basically
everyone who is one hit see progress and
when you're done you will click save and
download PDF and this part you could
choose also email it to you but you also
want to click Save download again don't
forget to do this part otherwise you
won't get your file right away then
click download
now basically you'll click Save and
you'll choose where you want to save it
on your computer
I have mine go right into the Downloads
directory and i conceive
and basically i'm going to close it out
just to show you you know where whatever
it was saved to go to your Start menu go
to your account folder they're going to
the Downloads directory as you can see
the same file is there
double-click on it open up an assignment
open up an adobe reader and as you can
see the fields are all filled in for you
here and just show you that you can edit
it see it even tells you right there you
can't end it with adobe reader but we
just added it with our free tool called
PDF escape and lets the website we've
been using so at this point you have
your form filled out without paying for
adobe standard you can go ahead and
print exit and I pretty much think
that's it how everybody gets person
yeah
