Trying to get this done today....I have been increasing my use of the theme show invites that PC offers us. But...what is the way around the "you can't type on them and save your own copy?" I know I've poosted on here before looking for one and somebody was so kind and sent me an invite that I could type and save on. Right know I'm sending out a Sweet Favorites. I would love to know the directions on how to get around the restrictions on typing and saving on the Theme Show invites. Huge time saver if I could just fill it out save it and send my host an attachment of that invite - especially for her to hand out. Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

Two options that I can think of. One is to own the complete Adobe program, but that can be expensive. The other would be to find one of those programs that "prints" to PDF. Meaning, you act as if you're printing, but instead it creates a new PDF from the one you've typed in. I think PrimoPDF is one (PDF Converter - #1 Free PDF Creator - PrimoPDF (http://www.primopdf.com/)) that I've seen mentioned here, but I don't have personal experience.

Here you go. You should be able to type in it and save it.

I use Acrobat Pro - it is $$ but I have it through work. I am not familar with the free pdf programs - not sure if you can type and save.

oh Thank You Thank You!!! Yes, you helped me last time. This is what I needed. I tried to download the other program and I couldn't get it so I could save and then type again. Why is it that PC doesn't allow the save and type later? I really want to have access to all of the invites like that.

You've been a big help once again - Have a good one!

It's not that PC doesn't allow the editing of the file. That's adobe. You need to have their programs to edit documents just like you need Microsoft Excel to edit an excel file.

What most people have (and only need) is the viewer. The program is expensive & most really don't have the need for that tool so Adobe has a viewer.

Yes, it is quite expensive. I have it at work - need to create forms from time to time - and they were even hesitating in getting me a copy.

But, yes, most can survive with just the reader.
