All PDF (Portable Document Format) forms can be filled out & printed online using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.  If you wish to save a form along with the data you enter on it, or email the form, you will need to purchase a copy of the Adobe Acrobat program (available at UNC Charlotte Receiving & Stores ). 

How to Use Forms...

Filling Out Forms

Tab to the first field and begin entering your information.  You will notice the active field you are currently entering data for will be highlighted with a red rectangle.  Move between fields by using the <Tab> key or your mouse.  Enter marks in checkboxes by clicking with your mouse or pressing <Space>.  The Reset button blanks out the contents of all fields.  Use it if you wish to fill out a second form. The Submit button automatically opens a new email addressed to Human Resources and attaches your PDF Form along with the data you entered.  (you must have the Adobe Acrobat program installed for this option to work).

Printing Forms

To print a form, click the button labeled Print located on the form itself. 

Saving Forms

You must have the Adobe Acrobat program (available from UNC Charlotte Receiving & Stores) installed on your PC in order to be able to save a form along with its contents.  To do so, go to your browser's File menu and select Save As.  The subsequent dialog will permit you to select the desired folder.  It is usually convenient to choose your default document folder, which is often c:/My Documents (or h:/My Documents to make this available through Web Folders).  If you have only the free Acrobat Reader program, you can save the form itself, but not the data you've entered.  To do so, go to your browser's File menu & select Save As.

To retrieve a form you've saved, simply start Adobe Acrobat, or Acrobat Reader, & click on File/Open.  Then select the folder you chose when you saved the form.

If you encounter difficulties editing the form, saving the form, etc., feel free to contact Mark Beam, ext. 2010.
