Filling Out Forms

Important! If you close the PDF version of this form, you will lose the information you typed on the screen. Be sure to print a copy before closing the form.

Interactive PDF Forms

• The free Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 4.0 or higher) is needed to view and print the PDF application.

• Interactive PDF forms can be saved to your computer and opened whenever needed. However, information you type into the form is NOT saved, if you fill it in using the free Acrobat Reader. If you close it and open it again, it will be a blank form.

• Saving the completed form electronically is possible with the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Approval or Adobe Acrobat 6.0 software.

• How to Fill Out the Form - The PDF version allows you to fill in your application on-screen, print it out and mail it. To begin entering data:

  1. Select the hand-shaped tool in the Acrobat Reader toolbar.

  2. Click on the first field in each form field. The "open hand" pointer will change to an "I-beam" as you move or tab to the next form field, allowing you to type text.

  3. For a check box or radio button, tab to the proper one and hit the spacebar to accept it. You can also hit the "enter" key, but using the spacebar leads to fewer problems.

  4. Hit the tab key to continue on moving from one form field or check box to the next. To go back to the previous form field, hold down the "SHIFT" key before tabbing.

  5. You can also use the pointer for a check box or radio button. The pointer will change to a pointing hand or arrow as you move over a check box. Click the mouse when the hand is pointing at the check box.

  6. If you hit the enter key in a form field instead of a check box, the cursor disappears. Click your mouse in the field, and the cursor returns. If you hit enter again after the cursor disappears, the screen will jump toward the bottom of the page. To recover, scroll back to the form field you need to enter, click the mouse to make the cursor return and continue to fill out the form.

  7. IMPORTANT - Before closing the document or trying to save it, be sure to make a print out. See caution above about data not being saved. Printing PDFs can be slow.
