new Lenovo laptop and need help with some worksheet files

[Wild Bill Hip Hop]

TWIMC, I'm setting up my new 2020 Lenovo Ideapad 17 with Windows 10 and I have a worksheet I downloaded that I can't write answers on. They told me to download it and open it with a pdf reader. I downloaded it and saved it to One Drive but it still won't let me write on it when I open it. I don't think I saved it as a pdf, or I don't know how to open it as a pdf so I can write on it. Should I save it or download it to a different software, pdf reader? Do I have one on my computer already? If so, what is it/ I don't have Adobe or Adobe reader. Please help. Thank you in advance...

Hello! I can assist you with your issue.
If you have saved the worksheet in OneDrive, you can open it using a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or Foxit Reader. If you do not have any PDF reader installed on your computer, you can download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for free from the Adobe website.
To open the worksheet using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, follow these steps:
1. Open Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
2. Click on "File" in the top left corner and select "Open".
3. Navigate to the location where the worksheet is saved in OneDrive and select it.
4. Click on "Open" to open the worksheet in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Once the worksheet is open in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, you should be able to write your answers on it. If you need to save your changes, you can click on "File" and select "Save" or "Save As" to save the edited worksheet.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

step 1 = make sure you actually downloaded the PDF not just linked to it

step 2 open your onenote and make a new page to hold the PDF [strongly recommend making new page for each new thing]

step 3 drag the PDF off your desktop and drop into the new onenote page... pick the printout option

in all likelyhood a PDF you got of the internet will be locked
these files can't be edited but can be added to
move your mouse over the area you want to add to and double click [even on a single click system] then start typing, the new text can be dragged into positon and will print when the PDF is sent to your printer or saved as an image

The images provide a helpful visual walkthrough for incorporating a PDF into OneNote on a Lenovo laptop. Here's an interpretation of each step based on the provided screenshots:

---

Step-by-Step Instructions:​

Step 1: Download the PDF​

• Ensure you're downloading the PDF onto your desktop (or a preferred folder). Here, the screenshot shows a "Save As" dialog box with the file name F08-3.1 - Employment Application Form being saved in PDF format. This ensures the file is accessible without needing constant online access.

Step 2: Create a New Page in OneNote​

• Open OneNote, and under a notebook (in this case labeled "Example page"), create a new page.
• This blank canvas is where you'll import or embed the PDF file.

---

Step 3: Insert the PDF into OneNote​

• Drag the PDF file from your saved location (desktop) into the newly created OneNote page.
• A dialog box appears with multiple options:

• Attach File: Adds the PDF as a link.
• Insert Printout: Displays the PDF's content directly onto the OneNote page, allowing you to annotate or view it more conveniently. This choice is ideal for visual learners or tasks requiring frequent referencing.
