   I can't fully express how bad Adobe Acrobat Pro is.

   After losing all my work on a health form once already, I've realized that I missed something. For some reason I can't actually edit any of the data, it's entered some alternate edit mode.

   I am now printing it out to add the last thing with a pen, then scan it.

   I attended my first programming class almost 20 years ago, and I am printing something out to scan it again.

     @preinheimer Adobe is garbage. PDF is a standard format and there's no reason to use their software rather than third party fully free alternatives with no conflicts of interest with the user. I use evince on Linux to fill PDF forms but I'm sure there are plenty of good alternatives regardless of your computer OS family.
