You can create and reuse form templates that contain data that does not change so you do not have to enter redundant information each time you complete a form for new filings. Using templates will help you avoid common filing problems, such as wrong House/Senate ID numbers or misspelled registrant or client names.
• Open the form and complete the fields on page one;
• Select Save As on the Adobe Reader File menu, or click the Save a Copy button on the browser;
• Save the form using the appropriate naming convention;
• Click the Save button.
To reuse a template:
• Open the template you want to use in Adobe Reader;
• Select Save As on the File menu and give the form a unique name according to your naming convention.
NOTE: It is important to perform these steps BEFORE you begin working with the form to ensure the template does not get modified
