Can I fill in a form by converting it to PDF?
This is not about sailing in an online form online. Instead, it is about downloading and filling in a form I got off-line.
This form is not to be submitted through website, but rather it is to be delivered in person or by mail. So I want to get the form off of a website, convert it to a PDF, and then fill in the forms on screen and then printe again as a completed filled in the form that I can mail to the proper agency.

Now, then, I have never done this. Am I going about this the wrong way? Is it practical to get a form and then converted to PDF and then fill in the form using the PDF editor? Any suggestions welcome.

Why not convert it to PDF...make a few of them without printing...fill it in on the PC and then print it.

Use the extras for spell-check errors.

What type of file is the form on the source website?

Some forms I found are in PDF format

I was looking for a grant deed to help me sell property without paying fees to a rea estate person.
IF I can fill out the form right, I can go to the local recorder and have it filled as an official document. But if I were to hire somebody,. it can cost hundreds of dollars. I just want to save some money and do it myself.

I have not yet tried to edit it. Will Foxit  work, or should I use the Adobe program?
Thanks

A simple Land Contract form will suffice.
The beauty of a Land Contract is if they miss 3 consecutive payments the property reverts back to you automatically without getting the Law Sharks involved.

All it needs is notarised.

Thinks, Patio.

Anytime...i'd still seek some Free legal advice in your area though...try the colleges or private firms.

Can you fill in that one?  I can do it in Foxit Reader.
