All forms on our Web site are available in
Portable Document Format (.pdf). This means that if you have
Adobe Acrobat Reader software you will be able to view, print,
or download these documents.
The Reader is available free
from the
Adobe Systems Web site.

Free Acrobat Reader.
If you have any difficulty downloading
the Reader, the Adobe site also offers
customer support.
Once the Reader is installed on your computer,
you just have to click on the hyperlink that leads to the .pdf
file. Before printing, check the form's page size: some of them
should be printed on legal-size paper (8.5" x 14").
The Adobe Reader indicates the page size --
along with the number of pages -- in the lower left-hand corner
of your screen.
Once you've completed a form on-screen and
verified its page size, select "File" and then "Print" in the
Reader's menu.
- This brings you to the print dialog box.
- To change the paper size, click on
"Setup" in the print dialog box.
- To make the proper adjustments:
- In Adobe Reader 4.05, the "Fit to
page" check box must be selected.
- In Adobe Reader 5.0, the "Shrink
oversized pages to paper size" and "Auto-rotate and
center pages" check boxes must be selected.
Downloading a file will allow you to view and
print a file without having to connect to the Internet or the
CRA site. Downloading allows you to have a copy of the form or
publication permanently on your computer. There are two ways to
download a .pdf file onto your own computer.
1. To download before opening the .pdf file:
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Right-click on the hyperlinked .pdf file name
