To view,
complete and print fill-in PDF forms
you'll need the freely available
Adobe Reader software installed on
your computer. Beginning October 25,
2004, new fill-in forms will be enabled
with "document rights"
which will allow you to save what you
have filled in on your PC. Version 6.05
or later of Adobe Reader is required.
Opening the Form
Your web
browser may be configured with an Adobe
Reader plug-in to automatically open the
file within your browser's window upon
download. To download the file directly
to disk, right click on the Results Page
form title link then select "Save
Target/Link As..." from the menu. Use
Adobe Reader to open the file.
Fill-in
forms with the ability to save locally
will generate a dialog box when opened
with Adobe Reader. If you are using
Adobe Reader 6.05 or later, the dialog
box will indicate that document
rights have been applied to the
PDF file and you can save the completed
fill-in form. If you are using a version
of Adobe Reader prior to Version 6.05,
the dialog box will indicate that some
features of the document will not
operate and you will be prompted to
obtain a newer version of Adobe Reader.
Completing the Form
When
positioning the cursor on a fill-in area
or element, the cursor will change
appearance. The I-beam pointer allows
you to type text. The hand pointer
allows you to select a check box or
radio button.
Enter the
appropriate data in each box or field.
To move from one field to the next,
press the Tab key. You can also use your
cursor to move from field to field.
Place your cursor in the field you want
to fill in, then left-click.
Some
fields limit the maximum number of
characters you can enter and may
automatically advance to the next field. |
