How to Enter Your Information on LD Forms

To avoid the most commonly reported problems, it is recommended that you adhere to the guidelines listed below when you work with Lobbying Disclosure forms:

• DO NOT use the Adobe features to manage pages or sign your form

  The forms have built in functions to add and remove pages, certify the document, and sign it.

  If you use Adobe form features you will corrupt your document and you will have to start over with a blank form.

• ALWAYS review and follow the instructions that pop up in message boxes on the screen

  The form will tell you if there is a problem that must be resolved before it can be filed.

Entering Form Content

To open your forms:

1. Locate the form you want to work with;
2. Double click on the form name to open it in Adobe Reader

To complete the form fields:

• Click on text fields and type the required information.

  You may also copy and paste material from other documents into text fields.

• Activate checkboxes by left clicking on the box.
• Select values from pull down lists by left clicking on the menu.
• To move to the next field, press the tab key or click on the field with your mouse. In some cases, your selection may control the movement of the cursor to the next appropriate field.

It is recommended that you use the Form Complete process to validate your form when it is complete to ensure that all required fields are completed. See Preparing Your Forms for E-Filing For more information on the Form Complete process.
