Problems Saving Forms--DS 156k and Others

[Texsinbad 6]

I don't have a printer; so, I want to fill out the forms and save them to be printed later, but I can NOT save them.

Example DS 156k: I have downloaded and when I open it, I get a message at the top "Click sign to fill out and sign this form. When you are done, you can save a copy by clicking "Done Signing".

I have click Sign, but can't find where the "Done Signing" is to click. I have also tried many other ways to save the form after filling it in, but wasn't able to.

I have seen where it says to Save a copy, but when I click it, I get a message that Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It's an online form and only can print right after you fill in. You can find a place which provides internet and printer or you can ask your fiancé to help you fill in the form and print it.

when you are done filling up the form, and ready to be print then you can click the print, it will show you an option on how you would like it to be print (select destination), click the save as PDF. it will direct you on where you want your document to be filed. you can save your file (the filled-up form) on your USB and print it later when you want it. pls note that when you do a print out at the cafe, make sure that in the preview, it should be "document and markups" so your input data will be printed also. or just ask help from the attending person in the cafe.

hope this will works on you..

As mentioned the DS-156K has to be completed online as it generates a bar code from your answers. Once you have completed the form and the website has generated the bar code click PRINT then choose MICROSOFT XPS DOCUMENT PRINTER, this will allow you to save the file to your computer so you can save it to a memory stick then later have it printed. You can then take the XPS file to have it printed easily.

You have to have PDF software on your computer to use that idea. Better to use PRINT and choose Microsoft XPS Document Writer as that comes with all Microsoft computers and allows the file to be saved to the computer for actual printing later.

If none of the suggestions offered by other members work, try updating the Adobe Reader to 11.0.3. This recently happened to my Fiancee and I had to ask her to do the same which then let her save the form in PDF. hope this helps.

Thanks Pacharya for suggesting that I download Adobe Reader 11.0.3. I did, and I can now save the forms.

I had Adobe Reader 10.something, and before this, I checked for updates, and there were none. Not sure why it told me that.

Anyway, thanks again.
