I need to know how to draw, or add my own typing, over a pdf. I have a worksheet in pdf format, and instead of printing out the papers, I just want to be able to insert my own typing and underline things (as if I used a pen/pencil) directly on the document. Does anyone know how, or any programs that allow this?

I think you best bet would be to use PDF2Word v3.0 which will convert your PDF file to a Word document so you can add or change what ever you want too. Just looking on there site and they do a VeryPDF PDF Editor but I have no experience of this application. Or PDF Editor Toolkit if you want to make your own PDF files. 
The Foxit Reader is just a PDF reader the same as Adobe is you can't edit the files.
