Downloading and Saving the Form

Save the form to your computer before attempting to complete it. Fillable PDF forms may be completed and saved using Adobe Acrobat Reader (this software must be loaded on your computer). To accomplish this you must first save the empty form on your own computer:

1. Position your cursor on the form link and click with your right mouse button (do not activate the link and open the form)
2.  From the menu that pops up, select the Save target as… option in Internet Explorer or the Save link as… or similar option in another browser
3. You should then be prompted to choose a location to save the file
4. Select the location on your own computer or network and click on the Save button
5. Once saved, navigate to the file

1. Use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the empty PDF form that you saved on your own computer or network
2. Complete the form
3. On the Reader menu, go to File > Save As
4. Choose either the PDF (recommended) or Text format
5. You should then be prompted to choose a location to save the file
6. Select the location on your own computer or network and click Save

Use the latest version of Adobe Reader

To open and complete the PDF application forms, you will need Adobe Reader (the latest version is recommended). If you do not have it installed on your computer, you may download the latest version free of charge from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions.

For Macintosh system users
Do not use the Preview program to fill in the PDF form. Adobe Reader is the only program that will allow you to work with the form properly, and allow us to read the results once back on a Windows machine. If you do not already have Adobe Reader, please use the link above to install it to your machine.

For Chrome browser users
Do not use the Chrome PDF viewer program to fill in the PDF form. Adobe Reader is the only program that will allow you to work with the form properly. If you do not already have Adobe Reader, please use the link above to install it to your machine. Please use the instructions below to disable Chrome PDF viewer in your browser.

Turn off in-browser viewing
If you are having problems using the form via your browser, use the instructions here to turn off in-browser PDF viewing: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html  Or, try the instructions below.

Print only when your cursor is not in a form field
Use your mouse to select an area of the form that is not inside a form field or hit the tab key after completing the entry of your last box before printing your form. If a form field is active (e.g. contains the blinking bar) the contents of that block will not print.

Print from Acrobat, not the browser
If the fillable form is displayed within your web browser’s window be sure to use the printer button on the Acrobat toolbar menu to print the form instead of your web browser’s print function.

Save the file
If you experience problems printing PDF forms once you have filled them in, save the data file containing your information to your local drive.
