How to edit a scanned file?

[Matrix]

My office scanned some documents and emailed them to me to fill out for work. I don't have the paper work to fill out then scan onto the computer, so I have to do it electronically. All the files I have are .jpg and I thought maybe I could convert that to .pdf and go from there but I am not a computer guy... I just downloaded Adobe Acrobat XL Pro but I honestly don't even know if that will work.

Anyone have any ideas? Also, this is not something my office does all the time. I am working at a federal institution so they need an electronic copy.

I’m not a computer guy, but I know sometimes I can copy paste PDF script onto an MS Word page and work with it that way, but even if you can do that I don’t know how to get it back into a PDF file. Good luck.

Not real clear I understand, just trying to help. Print what they sent you, fill them in, scan them onto a SD or thumbdrive , reload back into the computer, send them where they need to go. I used to have to do this all the time. Time consuming indeed. Hope that helps?? lol

Thanks for the quick response. I actually just figured it out. I finally got Adobe Acrobat XL installed and converting a .jpg to .pdf is as simple as a click of a button. Right now Im trying to figure out how to space the stuff out so that my words are not on the line or hitting each other.

I was going to do it on MS Paint but I couldn't figure out how to paste my image in it lol......

Well, I dont have a printer or a scanner. Im using the company laptop right now because my computer is Linux. I dont even have an SD or thumbdrive so I cant do that. I'm thankful that your trying to help but I don't have anything when it comes to computers. You'd think with me being 20 I would know all this stuff but even watching TV is a bore.

I really liked that part!!! Nothing wrong with that!!! I think tv is a bore also....

In the past, I've had to cut and paste stuff into a pdf or document opened and copied or pasted the file there. It's not the correct way to fly but it keeps me above the ground......

Half the PC movements I take are incorrect and take longer but it works.

I hate asking my brother for help so I get it done one way or another!
