How to Use Adobe Acrobat Forms

If you only have the free, basic Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will not be able to save any information that you type into these forms. Complete the form in its entirety, proofread it several times and print the required number of forms before closing Acrobat Reader. Once you close Acrobat Reader, your information will be removed from the form and only the blank form can be saved. If you find errors after you have closed Acrobat Reader, you will have to retype the information. You must have the full version of Adobe Acrobat 4.0, 5.0 or 6.0 to save the completed form.

  1. Right click on the link for the document that you would like to download. Note: If you left click, or if you cannot right click (Mac users), and the document opens in your Internet browser, you can complete and print the form but you may not be able to save the blank form. Complete the form in its entirety and print the completed form before closing Acrobat Reader.
  2. Choose “Save As” (in Netscape) or “Save Target As” (in Internet Explorer).
  3. Browse to the location on your computer where you would like to save the file and click “Save.” This will save the blank form. It is very important that you remember where you have saved your file.
  4. Open Acrobat Reader. Go to File>Open, browse to the location of the saved file, choose the file and click “Open.”
  5. Complete all the required fields on the form, proofread the form several times and print the required number of copies.
  6. If you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat, and if you would like to save the completed form, but save the blank form for future use, go to File>Save As and save the completed form with a new title. Otherwise, go to File>Save and save the form. If you only have the free, basic Acrobat Reader, you will not be able to save the completed form.

Note: All forms can still be printed blank and completed by hand. However, pages six, seven and eight must be typed. Be sure to provide the required number of copies. It is recommended that you also print a copy for yourself.

If you don’t already have a newer version of Acrobat Reader, a free download of Acrobat Reader 8.1 is available online.

You must have Acrobat Reader before trying to use any of these forms.
