Okay. My last attempt was a transportation application back in late summer, 2013, prior to either 16 or Office 2013. I think I bought and installed that last year.

If the form has not been setup properly with the field labels in the right places, JAWS or any other screen reader for that matter will not be able to follow properly. We have those types of forms at work and they can be saved with data inside. This depends on the security settings put in place by the author.

I guess that’s why they call it a reader. However, your point is well taken on things like margins, font size an style—things which may or may not translate properly from format to format. Incidentally, I wasn’t being facetious on AR; if anyone has ever used it to fill out anything successfully, please speak up.

The courts are quite unforgiving of any change, however slight, in the format of their forms and I would not trust any "import to edit" function of MS-Word. Since you entitled this thread "fillable PDF forms" that gives me the impression that this one has already been opened at some point in Adobe Reader or Adobe DC and you've received the announcement that it is a fillable pdf that allows you to save the data when you're finished. Simply download and save the file, open it in Adobe Reader and do your filling-in there. As already noted, if the form doesn't allow itself to be saved once filled out you should simply print several copies when you're done entering your information. If push comes to shove and you need to file it electronically, just scan in the filled-in and printed form. You really want to have these sorts of materials in precisely the format issued by the court. Brian
