The PDF forms are subject to several web browser restrictions.  The Supreme Court has the following guidelines for making sure the forms function properly on your computer.
Compatibility
Adobe Reader Required
You will require the latest version of Adobe Reader in order to use the forms. If you need to update your Reader software, please ensure you remove the old version of Reader before installing the new one. You may also want to be sure that your computer is not starting Adobe Acrobat instead of Reader when opening the forms and check your computer settings to make sure the CSB Smart Forms website is added as a trusted site.
Google Chrome and Firefox Users
If you are using Google Chrome or Firefox as your browser you will need to do a onetime configuration on your browser before using the forms.  You can find the steps for configuring your browser [http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/courts/other/supreme/2010SupRules/ConfiguringFireFoxGoogleChrome.pdf here].
Apple and Mac Users
Currently, the forms are not compatible with Apple products, including Mac computers, iPads, etc.  If you are using a Mac computer, you can download the desired document form the website by following the instructions [http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/courts/other/supreme/2010SupRules/ConfiguringMacComputers.pdf here].
You can also use the forms by saving them to your hard drive. To do this, right click on the form you wish to use and save it to your computer.
