Help Using the 2010 Kieve-Wavus Online Applications

Our new online PDF forms work well for about 98% of our applicants. We've discovered some situations where the PDFs won't submit properly or return the receipt to you (they will still save and print). See below for what we've learned.

Here are the new forms for 2010:

Please see the individual Admission pages for Kieve Boys, Wavus Girls, and Kieve West.

Technical Advice for all users:

The online submit feature will not work if these PDFs are opened with any other program besides the official Acrobat Reader. For example, using a 3rd-party PDF plugin inside your browser will likely not work.

To solve, first make sure that you have Reader v9 (or higher) installed; it will install the official Adobe Reader browser plugin for you. If this doesn't help, please go back to our download page, right-click to save the PDF to your desktop (thus bypassing the auto-open feature of Safari), and open directly with Adobe Reader.

Download the newest Adobe Acrobat Reader

Apple Mac OSX users: We have also seen where the Apple application called Preview is set to handle PDFs. The viewer is not capable of properly submitting the form data securely to our database. Do this instead: Download the PDF form (right-click [Macs: control-click] to "Save As...") , then drag it onto the Adobe Reader icon (perhaps it's in your dock). This will force the PDF to open directly in Reader. Alternatively, you can launch Reader, then select File: Open and navigate to the saved PDF's location.
