That, of course, assumes that the people who prepared the "form" set it 
to be fill-out-able.  They did not.

I've also just learned that the Adobe Acrobat (non-free) product is 
required if you want to fill out a fill-out-able form and then save it 
as a PDF.  Otherwise, if you fill out the form with the Reader, you 
have to print it to paper, scan it, then send it (an 8.5x11 inch image 
file per page).  So much for the "paperless" idea.  Adobe's marketing 
droids strike again.
