Saving Forms and not sufficient space solution

[N&S 32]

Hoping that someone else will find this helpful:

Since I kept getting an error message trying to print form DS-157 I tried an alternative PDF reader and not only am I now able to print but I can save the forms (including the boxes I've filled in) and can insert text boxes which means that it is possible to give enough space to insert full father's address (where the original form only have one line versus 2 lines for mother's address).

The name of the program is Foxit Reader (a geeky friend had recommended that to me a couple of years ago, but I hadn't bothered installing it on the my new machine) and can be downloaded for free on http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/addons.php

To insert text boxes (where you can also select the font size, making it possible to squeeze in a few extra characters) you want to turn on the "typewriter" and the "format" toolbar.

And if you're like me and get it filled in way in advance don't forget to check it's still the most current version of the doc before you send it

On our petition I neatly wrote what didn't fit, the petition was approved.

Hand write it. You can still buy pens at the grocery store. Any or all of the form can be hand-written as long as it is legible.

I like foxit, reference in the NVC EP wiki page (I loathe adobe)
