Hello VJers,

I ran into a frustrating problem. I was merrily filling out those PDF forms when I found out that I can't save the data in them! headbonk.gif

How are ppl coping with that? Any tips/tricks?

For reference, I got the forms from these links:

So you mean you filled them out and printed them at the same time correct? or did you figure out a way to save the data?

Unfortunately I'm not tech-savy so I just filled them in and printed it out once I was done typing.

I'm sure someone will come along with more advice on how to save those pdfs.

I suggest you install CutePDF and then PRINT to the CutePDF printer driver.

It's not 'save to file', per se, but is 'print to file', using CutePDF.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

ok, so I tried out cutepdf, but it can only save the data in the PDF one time. Once I save the data I can no longer edit the PDF anymore.

SO If I have to make any changes, I have to re-enter all the info again! headbonk.gif

Yup - that's how it works. Sorry.

What READER program are you using? I don't have this problem with FoxIt, by the way.

I posed a similar question a few hours ago so I'm glad to run into this thread.

It is frustrating when you can't save the data on the forms. Funnily enough, the I-864 does allow you to save the data but the EZ does not.

FoxIt and CutePDF sounds like a solution but I wonder if it will work on my Macbook.
