The Typewriter tool allows you to literally type into fields.

This if you have a non-editable PDF form you can use the Typewriter Tool
to place your
text in the desired fields.

{ I personally would try to use Acrobat and LifeCycle Designer to make the
form editable
such that the form and data can be saved with Adobe Reader }.



Since there are very few instances where I can think I'd need that facility,
then I can do without it - and people who create forms shouldn't be using
non-editable formats for them!
