Compatibility

Adobe Reader required

You will require the latest version of Adobe Reader in order to use the forms. If you need to update your Reader software, please ensure you remove the old version of Reader before installing the new one. You may also want to be sure that your computer is not starting Adobe Acrobat instead of Reader when opening the forms.

The basic PDF forms are fairly straightforward to use:

  • open the form
  • fill out the blanks fields (you can either type or cut and paste text from another document)
  • save the form to your computer (any data you have entered into the forms will be saved)

If Adobe Acrobat is not the default program to open PDF files, this can be easily changed.

If you continue to have difficulty using the forms after following these steps above, please contact: pcfr.regwg@gov.bc.ca
