Raybangkok Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I would be grateful if you can help with this problem. When completing Government forms on line you have to print them as they cannot be saved. I need to print maybe 10 pages a year so for me and I am sure many the investment in a printer is not worth it. I complete and download onto a thumb drive then my local printer prints it out. Why can this not be done with government forms instead of having to print them and not being able to save them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttkeric Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Maybe you could print it as a PDF? Click print as usual and then choose "Print to PDF" or whatever term your computer / OS uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybangkok Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Thanks for the reply but it just says this document cannot be saved no matter how I try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Went to that site and chose complaint form PDF - downloaded to Foxit Reader - filled in information - saved it as a different document name and opened with the information showing. Yes the form does not directly save but if you download into a reader the reader can indeed save and you can put on drive to print outside. As you did not provide a link to exact document can not be sure works for what you have but seems to work for documents that have the (reset or print options at top right). Just save with the software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybangkok Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Thanks I will give that a try. My forms related to pensions and it stated you cannot save only print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
