Saving DS forms

[marriott574 13]

Someone asked me how I saved a digital version of the DS Forms. I thought it may help others to share.

The DS forms usually wont let you save all the information you enter into them, however it is possible to save the completed forms. This makes it much easier to send them to others.

To do this you will need a PDF Printer. This is a piece of free software that allows you to turn almost anything into PDF documents.

Firstly I download Cute PDF printer it is available here.

http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp

Follow the installation

Complete your Forms

You then want to "Print your file". To do this simply go File, Print. Or in a web browser right click and select print.

Then select the Cute PDF printer from the available printer list.

Click Print.

This creates a "digital print"

A new dialoge box will open. Select where you want to save your new PDF file.

That's it then you have a saved version of the form.

Please note that the form is not editable.

Hope this helps

I take no liability in the quality of this software. I have no vested interest in it many other PDF printers are available. This one has worked well for me for years.
