Why doesn't the (fillable PDF) application form work on my computer?
It may be because you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. Since all forms on our website are in PDF format, you need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader before you can view and print the forms. The reader is available free from the Adobe website. Download the latest Adobe reader.
How do I complete a fillable PDF?
How do I print a copy of my application before it is submitted?
All forms have a Print button on the page. For best results, use this button and follow the directions in the Print dialog box. You can print the entire form or selected pages.
You can also select "File" and then "Print" from the menu or the Print icon in the Reader toolbar. When using this method, make sure that you first use your mouse to select an area of the form that is not inside a form field. If a field is active (contains the blinking bar) the contents of that field will not print.
Why won't the form open?
Check what version of the Acrobat Reader you are using. You will require Version 9.0 or higher. Download the latest Adobe reader.
Can I save the completed PDF form without losing data?
Yes, the completed form can be saved without losing data if you have Acrobat Reader version XI or higher installed. Download the latest Adobe reader.
How do I check what version of Adobe Reader I am using?
Open Adobe Reader, click or tap on 'Help' from the menu bar and then click or tap on 'About Adobe Acrobat'.
