I've seen a few comments here asking about how to edit the application forms. One thing I've had difficulty doing during the process of gathering my documents was to fill up the CIC forms. The files from the CIC website are all secured so you can't edit the font sizes, format and adjust their spacings. So for all those who are still filling up their application forms, I would like to share what I did in order to edit the pdf files so I can type in my details and be able to adjust the texts and most of all in order to make it look professional.
I don't know if the seniors had also done this, but this worked for me...
1. Unlock all the forms using a pdf unlocker. There are many websites available for you to do this... But the one I used is this (http:// www. pdfunlock. com/) You can do this for all the forms EXCEPT for the General Application Form because you won't be able to generate the barcodes if you mess this one up.
2. Install Acrobat XI Pro - I just used the trial version which was available for a month. it won't take as long as 1 month to fill up your forms anyway (I hope)
3. A little bit of playing around, you will now be able to add texts to your unlocked pdf files and yes, you can edit them as well.
Hope this helps some of you guys out.
