Formulate

I came across a simple and highly effective piece
of Mac freeware today – one that answered
an immediate need, was instinctive to use and did
the job very well.
Formulate allows you to overlay bits of text onto *.pdf forms – such as application forms. The resulting form/document can be saved and/or printed out. Neatly done and free. There are other tools for editing *.pdfs but none (that I’ve found) which are even cheap.
OK, so you could do the same with a typewriter…but I don’t have a typewriter (and, besides, you would have to scan the original back in if you wanted a digital version of the completed document).
It’s at a very early stage (the author claims that it is version 0.0.1!). There is basic information and a screenshot at the site.
