Why am I unable to view or open a form?
Most forms available the sites are in PDF format. PDF format allows documents to be easily printed.
To view a PDF file, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. If your system does not have this program, you will not be able to access these forms. To install Acrobat Reader on your machine, see the instructions below.
What is Acrobat Reader?
The Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free browser "plug-in" (helper program) that allows you to view and print documents in Adobe's Portable Document Format (file names ending in the extension ".pdf").
The Portable Document Format is platform-independent: users of MS Windows, Mac OS and other operating systems can all view the same .pdf document. This powerful tool enables companies to keep up to date documents available to all clients.
Forms that are available to download from the sites are maintained in this pdf format.
How do I install the Acrobat Reader on my computer?
Adobe's Acrobat Reader is free to download from Adobe's web site. The download is a self-running installation program.
I have the Acrobat Reader on my computer, but cannot view PDF files on this web site.
Current versions of the Acrobat Reader automatically configure themselves as plug-ins upon installation. If your version of the Acrobat Reader does not automatically open PDF files, we recommend an upgrade to a more recent version of the software. The software is freely available from Adobe's web site. Use the link referenced above to access the most recent version.
