Portable Document Format (PDF) is a standard way to distribute material via email and over the Internet. The format is widely accepted and used due to its common platform. Users need only a PDF reading program to view the files and most may be downloaded free. Many companies, government agencies and social and athletic organizations distribute material, such as forms, as PDF files via email. You can fill out an attached PDF and send it back by following a few steps.
Step 1
Launch the PDF document from the email. Depending on your email service, you can click on the "Download" link or the PDF icon next to the document. The important thing is that you open the document in your PDF reading program, such as Adobe Reader.

Radio buttons and check boxes can be selected by clicking once inside them. Click once in text fields and type in any necessary information.
