INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING A PDF FORM ON THE INTERNET

These forms are being made available as Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files.  You can use them as electronic images to be able to view and print and then used them in the same manner as any traditional paper form.  Also, these forms are Screen Fillable Forms (PDF Fillable Version.)  These are similar to the PDF form images described above except that they may be completed on the screen before being printed or save to your computer’s hard drive or disk.  If you have the Acrobat software configured as a web browser plug-in application, you can fill-out and print the form within your web browser.  If you are using the free Acrobat Reader software, however, you cannot save the form with the fill-in data for use at a later time.  You must have a full version of Adobe Acrobat in order to save the filled-in data made to this electronic form.  The free reader software will allow you to save the blank form for use at a later time if you are using the filler software as a web browser plug-in application.
