Mark: I now have Adobe Reader 9 installed on the M$ Windows side and
also on the Linux side of this box. Both show among the plugins, the
Acrobat Forms plugin is Not loaded. Possibly if that plugin can be
loaded, in Adobe Reader, one can fill in forms.
On the Windows side, I have a Freeware program, Nitro PDF Reader 2,
that is very slick.
On the Linux side, I have pdfedit and my guess is that if it had the
kind of Help files that Nitro PDF Reader 2 does, that pdfedit can do
most or all of the things Nitro PDF Reader 2 can do.
pdfedit will do what I need to do, unless and until I find something
better, that installs easily on CentOS 5.7 Thanks again for your
help! Lanny
