How to Save a Fillable PDF Form
1. If you do not see the fillable boxes on the form on your browser, you will
have to either open the form with a different internet browser or download
the document. To download the document:
a. Locate the download button on the top right of the screen (icon with
a sheet of paper and a downward arrow) and click it.
b. Save the file as a PDF in an easy to find location.
c. Fill out the PDF completely (you will need Adobe Reader installed, it
is available free to download online), and save it once you have
completely filled it out. (Proceed to step 6)
2. Fill out the PDF form completely. You will need to have Adobe Reader
installed on your computer, it is available as a free download.
3. Open the print menu
4. Select a printer that will save the file as a PDF. Examples of the printers you
will see that will perform this function:
a. Adobe PDF
b. Microsoft XPS Document Writer
c. Any other PDF printer or writer
-Note: there may also be an option to save the file as a PDF under the
printers, that function will work as well.
5. Hit the print button (the document will not print). The option to save the
document in either PDF, XPS, or another format will appear. Save the file in
the new format in a place easy to locate.
6. Locate where you have saved the file on your computer. Either attach the
PDF in an email to your county UW-Extension office OR print the PDF and
mail it to your county UW-Extension office.
