Ensure you have the latest PDF viewer available from your device's app store.

Many of our online forms are in a PDF format that can only be viewed or printed with Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 or higher. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader or are using an older version, you won't be able to open the forms. Install or upgrade to a newer version; you can download it free. It is important that you first uninstall any prior versions of the Reader before downloading and installing the latest version.

You also could be experiencing problems for other reasons:

• Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) might be experiencing heavy traffic.
• The file size could be too large for your Internet connection speed. Read the FAQ on how to download a form directly to your computer's hard drive.

If this happens, refresh your Web browser. If that fails, make sure you have Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 or higher installed properly. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it free.

The easiest way to fix your problem, is to install Adobe Acrobat Reader. Once the installation is complete, your computer will no longer use Word to view the PDF file. Your computer will use Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the files instead.

There are a variety of reasons that could cause a PDF file not to print properly. Please see Adobe's Support Knowledgebase on troubleshooting printing problems.

This issue can often be resolved by obtaining and installing the most recent print driver available for your particular make and model printer. Most printer manufacturers provide free printer driver updates from their Web sites.

Locate the Acrobat Reader program on your machine and open the program (you probably have an icon on your desktop for Acrobat Reader that you can double-click). Click on the "Help" menu item at the top of the Acrobat Reader window. Select "About Acrobat Reader" from the menu options. A window will appear that displays the version.
