Re:Hate PDF Forms? Check Out My No Code Solution by loloquwowndueo on Wednesday August 17, 2022 @04:51PM (#32501531)
I hate pdf forms but old-fashioned organizations love them - so I have to deal with them. The worst is when they scan a paper form and send it as pdf - second worst is pdf form with non-fillable fields. I use xournal as a “typewriter” to fill out these monstrosities. I can even add a scanned signature to avoid having to print, sign and re scan the thing.

This!

I too, have resorted to the same techniques, making me feel like a "master forger" at his painstaking art.

I was imagining a tool which would just let me create an interactive overlay on a PDF. It sounds like Xournal might be just the thing I need. So, thanks for the tip.
