To find the version of Adobe Acrobat Reader you use, do the following:

  1. Locate the Acrobat Reader program on your machine and open the program (you probably have an icon on your desktop for Acrobat Reader that you can double-click).
  2. Click on the "Help" menu item at the top of Acrobat Reader window.
  3. Select "About Acrobat Reader" from the menu options. A window will appear that displays the version (ex: Acrobat 5.1.0).

This can usually be resolved by downloading the latest version of Adobe Reader. If you already have the latest version, you may want to attempt to reinstall it.

If you still cannot download the form:

  1. Using your mouse, right-click on the link for the form needed.
  2. Select "Save Target As" (if you are using a Netscape browser select "Save Link As" or "Save Link Target As" depending on the version you have).
  3. Save the form.
  4. Open the form from that location it's been saved.

If the form doesn't display properly, download the latest version of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
