I received a questionnaire in PDF format.
I would like to return it, filled out, from my keyboard.
I searched for "Edit PDF" on google, yahoo, and among CodeProject.com
So far, either the links didn't work, or (google and yahoo) lead me to an offer to pay $50 or more.
I am looking for a simple way to IMPORT a PDF file into an app so that I can type the answers (i.e., from my keyboard) and then export that document back out to a PDF file.
OS for the moment is Win7.
If this topic already has an answer, just point me to the thread and I'll click on the link. I did search three times here, and if I didn't choose the right terms in the search, then I will give my thanks for any greater equipped brains who get it right and can direct me.

Word 2013 has a PDF edit feature (if you want to shell out big bucks) 
Alternatively, you can just convert it to a Word document, fill in the blanks, and print it to a PDF printer.

Unless it was created as a PDF Form (this is a special type of PDF, not just a random form document printed as PDF), which should have edit boxes for you to use an any decent PDF viewerl the problem you're running into is that PDFs aren't designed as an output only format and not to be edited. 
IF you were sent a non-form PDF that someone wants you to fill out, my advice is to elephant the sunshines exactly as they elephanted you. Printscreen the PDF into paint. Use the textbox feature (with the handwritingesque script font instead of ariel or times new roman) to slap text on top, and then print it back as a PDF to return to them.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I actually did something like what I suggested once; although I only used the script font for the signature block.

I once worked with a gentleman called Matt, who after repeated demands for his time sheet, finally faxed in a photocopy of the floppy disk it was stored on.

For a signature, your best bet is to trample your name in a corn field and send in a Google-maps link to the resulting image.

This was time sensitive; and many of the google/bing map overheads in my area are several years old. I couldn't wait that long to get a reply out...

Printscreen isn't the most elegant way to get from PDF to picture, but other than that I've done that too. 
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Unfortunately, there are n't any free online tools available to edit it.
|
|
|
|
|
The latest version of Foxit Reader (free) has some editing capability.

I've used this in the past, worked well enough and was free:
www.pdfescape.com
However, not much different than the Paint solution above

I assumed you were passed out in a gutter somewhere in a Gin fueled stupor, and would turn up later in a lady's pink crimplene hat and a pair of yellow fishing waders, with no money and the username of "Emily Berkenstein".

That would explain a few things, I've been corresponding with an Emily Berkenstein on a singles site and finally got a picture a while ago clickity[^].

I'm just glad she left the "racy" ones for later...

Let's see if you can break the record again! 
Two days, hmm, no breaking out in sweats or seeing pink CP Bobs?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

How do you really feel about there not being a brass-band playing when you came back because no one noticed you were gone:  ?
“But I don't want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”
“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.
“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll
