However, in order to complete these forms on the screen, you must have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader version 3.0 or above.

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 will need to use the purchased version of Adobe Acrobat in order to do this. The free reader software will, however, allow you to save the blank form itself for use at a later time if you are using the filler software as a web browser plug-in application.
