mickjn Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi Ladies and Gentlemen, I am hoping someone could give me a bit of help I am trying to get a tourist visa for Thailand 60 days that I can extend for another 30.I think that is what I need and have done many times before.I want to travel from Brisbane.I want to do this by mail it is hard for me to get to Brisbane from where I live as I cannot drive. On the Brisbane site I am get to down load the form it says PDF??? When I go to print it out the form comes out very light you can see it but only just you could not fill it in is just like a blank piece of paper.I have tried have few things on the net and checked my computer but it is just the same very light application form.I have had a look and other Embassy sites Canberra,Sydney and I can print it ok but the are saying you have to pick it could they do not mail.I have never had any trouble before just fill in the form send with my passport get if back in 5 days.This has been going on for 5 days.I have emailed the Embassy 4 days ago but no reply.I was wondering if anyone is having any trouble with Brisbane or just me.I do not know if this a computer problem or a Visa problems,Mods feel free to post where you like.I have not be drinking but if I get this right I might have a few.Also I can go onto Note Pad do some printing and it comes out perfect. ThankS for your help Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simple1 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 OP: Yes form is light grey when printing, but still perfectly visable. You say you've checked your printer, so may be you need new glasses http://www.thaiconsulate.org/docs/Application-For-Visa.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say you've checked your printer, so may be you need new glasses http://www.thaiconsulate.org/docs/Application-For-Visa.pdf We've all seen these ancient forms, best exclude 'eye impairment' quirks & just recommend a photo editing program to heighten contrast. Afterwards, a desktop program to add 'text' fields to the relevant areas...text size at 9 points. Sans Serif preferred.

ubonjoe Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Have you checked print quality setting for your printer. Try raising it to the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You man need a better pdf program... Some of the Pdf Viewers are just exactly that...and you cannot fill in the form. You need a PDF editor, possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As suggested check your printer settings for darkness/DPI? However it might be useful to download the latest version of Adobe's PDF reader at http://get.adobe.com/reader/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 When you open the doc and go to print it, another print information window should pop up, right? Look around on that one for something about print quality, and select "Best" quality. Click around on a few things until you find something that looks right, and give it a go with some scrap paper so you aren't wasting good paper. That's how you learn, trial and error. You are unlikely to break or screw anything up too badly, if you think you are about to, just hit cancel and back out, no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 This is the solution: select the option to print in black and white only, not in colour or grey tones. As you did not mention the make and model of your printer, I can't give you precise instruction how to make this selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
