Downloadable Forms (in PDF)
The form listed on this page are viewable with the Adobe Reader®. If you do not have this program for your computer go to the Adobe website. Select "Get the Adobe Reader" icon to download the best version for your computer. It is a free download.
Most of these form have been formatted so that you can download them to your computer and type in the information and then print the form. You can download the forms and save the forms but you can not save the changes (information you type in) unless you have Adobe Acrobat®. Adobe Acrobat is not a free program.
I have tried to standardize the format that is used on each form.
To move from field to field, press the "TAB" key. To move back use the "Shift/TAB" combination.
Phone numbers use area codes. Enter you number as 5025551212 and it will format as (502)555-1212
Enter zip codes with 5 digits
Dates use the mm/dd/yyyy format. You can enter 1/02/2005, or 01.02.2005 or several other formats and they will format as 1/2/2005.
Some forms that have individual blocks for each number or letter will require you enter one character and then tab to the next block.
Social Security numbers can be entered without dashes. 111223333 will format as 111-22-3333.
When entering dollar amounts enter the numbers only. 250000 will format as $250,000
If there is a check box you can toggle it by pressing the "space" key. Some forms will allow you to type an "X" in the box.
Some fields have drop down boxes. Make sure you select the correct item.
Some forms require the same information in more than one location (Name on front and back of health forms). Once entered, the information will automatically appear in the other fields. If you change it in one field it will change the other field.
Some calculations may be automatically performed.
Don't forget to sign forms that require a signature.
If you do not want to type the information on the form you may download the blank form and print that.
The forms are listed in no particular order.

(3) This form has individual blocks for some letters and
