PDF confusion

[BeeZee]

I am a little bit confused as to what PDF software that I would need to do a project. Here is what I want to do.

Create a PDF file that I can send to relatives, via email, so they can change the information on the file or say that the information is correct and send it back to me via email.

What the project is, is an address book and genealogy. The address book that I have right now is in paper form with cross-outs, eraser marks, and arrows going every which way but loose. Time to reorganize.

The computer that I am using is a dual boot with Window 7 on one partition and Ubuntu 12.04 on another partition. I use Ubuntu about 90 % of the time but not opposed to using Window 7. On the Windows side I have Sumatra PDF and LibreOffice. On the Ubuntu side I have Document Viewer and LibreOffice.

I would like this to be a free software that I can create the layout that I want and for the end user (relatives) to make any corrections such as birth dates, addresses, middle name, etc..

Take care, Bernie.

Hello, BeeZee.

As I understand, you need a program that allows you to make corrections in a pdf document.

I searched for such software some years ago, and I found out that there are only payable solutions.

ABBYY pdf transformer is a good one (not perfect), and I have tried it. You can try it too here, but with lots of limitations: http://pdftransformer.abbyy.com/3/convert_pdf/

Anyway, if you can send your document as office document, you can solve the problem. Pdf transformation to word is not always a good idea, with the use of any software.

This is my opinion.  :hallo:
