I am running a PC with Windows 2000 and I have Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Adobe Photoshop 7 installed.
I wanted to fill out a form which I downloaded from the Internet. I "printed" it to a PDF file and it occupied 32 Kb of space.
I could, however, find no way to write text into the blank spaces in Adobe Acrobat so…
I opened the file in Photoshop 7 where I was able to enter the text and place it in the spaces where I wanted using the space bar to move it horizontally and the "leading" control plus the enter key to move it vertically.
However, when I saved the completed form from Photoshop 7 as a PDF, it occupied a staggering 1.39 megabytes.
I cannot see why adding about 20 lines of text increased the size of the file by over 1 megabyte so perhaps some learned person can tell me a better way of doing what I set out to do or tell me how to reduce the file size of the completed form to a more realistic figure.
