I've linked to your article from here: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/ http://twitter.com/acro_dave/status/2350623290 @Melvin - If you have Acrobat, you can enable Reader users to add comments or type text on top of your PDF file. All they need is the free Reader. See here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS8F17CB6D-B39D-4cf6-8060-7907C1AC53F7.w.html http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS2DE764BD-5706-4e3a-9360-5F2F968223AC.w.html I think one advantage that Pam is highlighting is that you can scan your existing paper worksheets into PDF and then let students type right on top of that worksheet using the free Adobe Reader. You retain the look and layout of your paper worksheet, but you've just made the workflow electronic!

But I have one question, usually we can not edit a PDF file in Adobe Reader, how can students write on the PDF using their computer? Besides, Adobe Acrobat Pro is expensive. Why not convert the PDF to Word so that everyone can easily do their homework or paper? You can try the Anybizsoft PDF to Word converter,it's free. It’s really a good idea.
