[orca-list] Options for working with pdf files

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I need to not onlyl read, but also interact with a pdf file, i.e. mark options and save the changed document.
This is for marking a ballot, and the instructions say that only adobe reader 11 or higher allows saving of 
the modified file. Also any version of acrobat 
will work they say.
The instructions say that older versions of adobe reader will let me print the doc, but not save it.
Often websites and other instructions say one needs adobe software when actually other pdf reading software 
works of course, but since this doc needs 
modification I am unsure of my options under Linux where it appears that acroread 9.5 is the newest 
available. I usually use evince for reading or convert 
files using calibre's ebook convert, pdftotext from poplar, etc. 
I don't have a working printer with ink at home, so need to take the file to a cyber cafe or similar for 
printing, so saving a copy of the modified file to 
a usb stick is the best sollution. 
I've not used adobe for Linux in a few years, and never used it much, so I'm not at all familiar with what 
may be posible.
Can I check the dcesired options and somehow save the file somewhere using acroread, or are the instructions 
correct in that I can only print directly?
Is there any other software option for Linux?
I have a vinux5, installation available, if anything is easily available for Ubuntu that is not available for 
Arch, but for now installed acroread on my 
Arch-Linux box.
I guess if worse comes to worse I can use portable NVDA to use a newer version of adobe reader on a publoic 
windows computer, or perhaps my neighbor has an 
up to date copy of adobe, but of course would prefer to use my own machine to do the ballot marking.
Time is critical as I'm going to have to deal with international mailing or shipping to get this in on time. 
Until Friday I thought I';d be able to return 
the ballot via email or perhaps fax.
Regards, and thanks in advance for your help.
