Mac Form Tutorial
If you are having problems opening the health forms and are on a Mac computer, please follow these steps to get it working properly. We apologize for the inconvenience! Unfortunately, the form cannot be made compatible with Mac Preview (the Mac default program that opens PDF files). It’s just a couple of quick steps to ensure the file is opened in the Adobe Reader softward instead.
Note: Even if you have already installed Adobe Reader, Mac Preview is probably still trying to open the PDF file.
- If you do not have Adobe Reader yet, go to Adobe’s site here. Verify the operating system (should be automatic) and un-check McAffe Security Scan Plus. Then click download . Run the program once downloaded and this will install Adobe Reader on your machine.
- Browse to the downloaded file in finder, it should be located in the Downloads folder . Click the file once so its highlighted , then go to File->Get Info as shown here (the file will either be called Purpose-Confidential-Health-History-Form-v2.x.x.pdf or Purpose-Revisit-Form-v2.x.x.pdf):
- Once the Info box open, scroll down to Open With. Click the arrow to expand it, and Select Adobe Acrobat Reader. You should See a similar option as below:
- If you wish, you can choose this default option for all future PDF file openings as well by clicking on the “Use this application to open all documents like this one.”
- Now you should be able to open the PDF without errors. Thank you for your patience !
