[blindlaw] Bar Exam/ Air travel/ practice question

[Ben Karpilow]

Fantastic, Chuck. Rod, you may want to check this out as well to find out if 
there is a PAor NJ counterpart.

While this will likely meet most of my form needs, and I was referring to 
all forms in general, my broader question is whether there exists a program 
like adobe, with which I have very limited experience, which allows one to 
scan in a document, fill it out, and reprint it without altering the form's 
original format. Naturally, the program would have to allow the user to 
read the form-- as well as what gets filled in--  with a screen reader. Will 
adobe acrobat do this? Is there a cheaper, blind-friendlier alternative? 
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
