As a workaround recently, to fill-in a pet-insurance claim form, I
screen-shot it, pasted it into a blank Word page, and inserted small text
boxes (no-line, no-fill) over the fields they wanted filled in. Then saved
the result back as pdf. Worked a treat. And for follow-up claims I went
back to the Word file and edited the appropriate field or two.
