There are instances when you may encounter a pdf file from our website or other websites that may not open. You may encounter this error message below, due to how fillable forms are created and published in pdf.

If this happens, it is best to download the pdf using the download link in the top right corner of your browser window.

 

Once you have downloaded the pdf, you will then right click and open in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, which is common on most devices.

 

If the pdf is not rendered you may have to click the button that is visible at the top of the pdf “Enable All Features”. This will turn on the editable fields that were not permitted. 

If this does not correct the error message, then you may have to contact the website owner to correct the issue.
