PDF Information
Viewing and Interacting with PDF Files From the Internet
It is a good idea to install Adobe® Acrobat® Reader, the application needed to view PDF files, before attempting to open the files. Choose the version from Adobe's free downloading site that matches your computer's operating system (e.g. Windows '95, Macintosh, etc.). You can link to Adobe's site by clicking on the graphic below. You will need 5 MB hard disk space, plus 7 MB additional temporary disk space available during installation. You should close all other programs when installing.

Using PDF Forms
Next, return to the Methodist Home for Children's site and download the forms you need by clicking on a linked form name. If you have installed Acrobat® Reader®, Reader will automatically open and the PDF form file will begin to download. This takes a bit of time. Allow at least a few minutes for a 500K file. Save the .pdf form to your hard drive, print out the form and mail to the address indicated on the form.
