[WayneL]

I still can't save the completed form - in the corrected versions by Mark...........I could save the ones with the errors in......any suggestions??
I'm running Windows 7 with latest adobe. Thanks

You need to save as a post script file.

I use these as well, just click save as

Make sure your not usinga trail version of Adobe as the trial wont let you save.

Other option is print using DoPDF 7, that will save a PDF copy of it and DoPDF is free.

Hi Mark (and Steve)

Firstly, what heroes you both are! Thanks for sharing your hard work with everyone on here.

However, I, like saggers and WayneL, have the "save" option disabled on the updated forms, but not the originals. Apart from the Special Locations form, that is... Is it because I'm only using Acrobat Reader X, not the full software? Strange that it worked OK with Steve's originals?

I can't believe no-one else has also spotted that some of the drop-down boxes don't have their full complement of options. Specifically, on the Luminaires and Special Locations sheets, below the first line it's impossible to choose a "tick". As a work-around I leave them blank, and manually tick them with a good old-fashioned pen on the client's copy, but it would be nice if this bug could be fixed.

Hope that helps to improve an otherwise superb effort.

Cheers!

The only way I can save these as a non-editable PDF is to save as postscript.

All seems to be okay for me.

Other than a spell check, added confirmation of supply polarity and an amendment to a reg update, I have done no other changes to anything including security settings.

Can you not just save them as 'editable' PDFs, then, and let us do what we like to them.........or does it not work that way??

I am referring to, if I have filled a form out and want to email a customer it.

Thanks Steve, you're a lifesaver.

I followed Nicholas Owen's suggestion of using DoPDF - works a treat. Complete the form, "print" it as a PDF and send the client the output. The only glitch was that by installing DoPDF, my Adobe Reader X threw a hissy fit. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now it works a treat.

Still can't get Mark's de-typo'd versions to work properly though, but my clients probably wouldn't notice the errors anyway, so I'm still using Steve's originals.

Hi Steve

Thank you for all your work regarding the EICR PDFs.

Tried to PM you but your inbox is full.

These PDF's are great and thanks to everyone involved in producing them.

Does anyone know if it's possible to edit the green colour on the headers?
