How to Submit a PDF Form using Adobe Acrobat

You must have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer to complete these steps. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, you can download it for free here. For the best experience, we recommend using a desktop computer or laptop to submit fillable PDF forms.

Step 1: Download or Open the Form

Depending on how the form behaves, follow the appropriate instructions below:

  • If the Form Opens in a New Browser Tab:
    1. Right click anywhere on the PDF document in your browser and click Save As.
    2. Save the file to a place on your computer where you can easily find it, like your desktop or downloads folder.
  • If the Form Automatically Downloads:
    1. Click on the form link to download it to your computer.
    2. Save the file to a place on your computer where you can easily find it, like your desktop or downloads folder.

Step 2: Open the Form with Adobe Acrobat Reader

  • Find the downloaded PDF file and double-click on it to open it.
  • If it doesn't automatically open with Adobe Acrobat Reader, right-click on the file, choose Open With, and select Adobe Acrobat Reader from the list.

Step 3: Fill Out the Form

Once the form is open in Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can start filling it out. Click on each field and type your information.

Step 4: Submit the Form via Email

  • After you've filled out the form, look for a button that says Submit or Email Form. Click on it.
  • Your email program will open with a new message. The form will be attached automatically.

Step 5: Send the Email

  • In the new email message:
    • Make sure the recipient's email address is correct (if it's not filled in, add it manually).
    • You can add a subject if needed (e.g., "Application Submission").
    • Feel free to write any additional message in the email body if required.
  • Finally, click the Send button to submit the form.

If you have not set up an email client, or if you are having trouble with this step, try saving the completed PDF form and attach it to an email manually instead.
