You need Acrobat (the real thing, not the reader), or any pdf creator
cabable of turning the pdf into a fillable form.
Create your form in Pub, Word, or from a scan (or whatever), pass it to your
PDF creator then you create data fields where you want to on the page/form.

| print multiple images and it only printed a small one (one) on the paper.
