| I purchased one of those 199 Trust.com trusts last summer and I want to change something on it, but its "locked" or whatever its called. Do I need a certain program to edit PDFs with? |

You need adobe acrobat. If you haven't put personal info in it yet you can email it to me and I can help if you don't have the program. |

I didn't realize this until I tried to do it at home. Work has full featured Adobe...home is just a reader  |

My parents are on my trust, and who knows when they will actually notarize their portion, so I would like to remove them for now and possibly add them later. If you're worried about persec the best thing to do is find a friend you trust that has the program and it's a very easy process to remove the info.

| In Linux, I routinely use Xournal to fill-in PDF forms that aren't setup for field entry. There's a Windows version, but I've never used it. If you decide to try it, go to the File menu and select Annotate PDF. |

You certainly need the full-boat version of Acrobat, but even that may not be enough if the original author of the PDF set password security on it. An author can selectively lock out certain features, from text copying, printing, image export, content editing, file renaming, etc. You can make a PDF that is read ONLY with absolutely nothing else allowed. Hopefully your document is not security locked in any way. |

Email him and ask him if he will change it for you. He changed mine, because Louisiana requires two witness signatures. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure it is locked. He couldn't sell them if anyone could copy and paste, could he. He may not have locked it. Mine wasn't locked from a lawyer so it allowed me to actually type items into my trust schedule instead of having to hand write them in. |

When I open the PDF in Adobe Reader is says (SECURED). I'm assuming that means its locked? There is a possibility that's why it says "SECURED" although I don't have plain old Reader to test it out. Your only way to check would either be to e-mail the lawyer who set up the trust or have someone check it in Acrobat. |

Looks like you should be able to change it. ETA: Although, under "content accessibility" it says "not allowed". Fuck if I know now, lol. |

Someone IM'd me a program and it worked perfectly. I just opened the PDF in open office and the words are all over the place. |
