Try this form, for example (from the Courts Service). Even using Acrobat Reader, you can type in all the details and then print it. However, you can't save the typed details (or, at least, not when merely using Acrobat Reader).

MS Office 2007 Beta
Download Office 2007 Beta which gives Word the option of saving as PDF files
Alternatively, OpenOffice (free) allows you to save as PDF as well

There are many PDF editor programmes around that will let you do this. (Google is your friend!) Nitro PDF have a fully functional 30 day trial:

It might be easier to download Adobe Reader, print out the forms and then fill them in by hand!
