My dad asked me tonight if I could develop some software to help my grandpa fill out non-interactive PDF documents. I guess he has come across a few PDF documents with forms that you can fill in with a PDF reader. But most of the forms he has don’t offer that interactivity. My grandpa has horrible penmanship so a piece of software like this would be priceless for him. I did a little digging in Google and found PDFFiller, an excellent piece of web 2.0 software that does exactly what he wants:

• You upload the PDF document from your computer or somewhere online
• You click anywhere and begin typing
• You can then fine tune the form by moving your text around, change the font face, size, and color
• Save, print and enjoy!

To use the software, you must register and pay $1.49 per use or $12.99 per month for unlimited use, but it’s well worth it for someone like my grandpa.
