#62 Editing PDFs

PDFescape.com is a free online pdf reader, editor, form filler and designer, for those online forms that prevent you from actually filling it out online, an oxymoron?
As an example, having PDF forms for an employment application for those human resource types who prefer not to have to read an applicant's handwriting (which is when you can get lumbered with an employee who's written notes are undecipherable). Well PDFescape will create you text box/es so you can fill out the form fields. Only problem is that the completed form has the PDFescape logo & link on it, with no way around - unless you PAY for the premium service.
I think the solution is with the creator of the form/document - make it editable in the first place, so we don't have to try and circumvent anything.
