I was sent an attachment to my email that is an application that I need to fill out and send back.  I downloaded the application to my computer and I can view the document but I can not type in the information.  What do I need to do to be able to type in the information and send it back??

    Hi

    You need on your computer an application that can read and write using the form's file format.

    E.g., If the form is in .doc format you can use Microsoft Word.

    Most forms are sent in pdf format, alas the most common the pdf reader does not let you type in.

    If this the case you can download install and use this free reader.

    Otherwise print the form, fill it in by hand, scan it to as a file, and send back the scanned file.
