I thought not. I needed to place some PDFs in an Excel workbook recently,
and ran into that. I ended up opening it in Photoshop, exporting it as jpg.
The resolution suffered some, but it worked.

Hello,
I've got a PDF form that is not the type with entry fields.
Instead of putting my handwriting on this, does anyone know of a way to
fill it out using my computer?
1. Can I somehow put a PDF as a background image in a Word doc so that I
can type on top of it?
2. Had someone OCR it for me, but it's too far from the original and is
cumbersome.
3. Briefly tried doing it in Illustrator by opening the PDF and typing
on top of it, but it is quite difficult to place the text and space it
so that the form gets filled on the right lines, particularly where
there are multiple line answers.
4. Is there another piece of software that can accomplish this unique
task?

Thanks for your help,
hj.
Adobe Photoshop or Elements will do it. But it won't be any different
than Illustrator. Word would be the same problem, but I believe Word will
not import PDF.
