RFA fillable forms

The forms provided on this page are available as downloadable and interactive forms. The files are provided in Portable Document Format (PDF) and Rich Text Format (RTF). You can save either format to your local computer (right-click on the links below). PDF files can be filled out but not saved with text edits unless you have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 6.0 or higher. RTF files can be filled out and saved with text edits.

PDF files. You need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5.0 or higher installed to open the PDF files (click here for a free copy). With this software you can fill out the forms and print them. With older versions of Acrobat Reader (5.0 or earlier), you must re-enter the text every time you open the PDF file. If you have Acrobat Reader version 6.0 or higher installed you can save the files with the text.

RTF files. RTF files can be opened with any word processing program. These files can be saved with the edits. Some forms have protected fields. This means that you can only type in these fields. If there are problems with the formatting, however, you can select "Unprotect Document" under "Tools" to make necessary modifications. Other forms, for example those that require large amounts of text to be entered, are unprotected. Please do not change the format of the forms.
