INSTRUCTIONS on using PDF fill-in forms
Using PDF forms requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader (5 or higher). Please visit the Adobe website and download the latest version of Adobe Reader. This is a free download.
When you click on the "Application" link to access the form, it will open Adobe Reader in your browser. You can then save the PDF to your computer by either clicking the save icon (looks like a diskette) on the toolbar or go to file and save. You may then open the form and save changes you have made or print and fill out the form.
Completing the form on your computer
It is important to do a test save on your fillable form first! Some versions of Acrobat Reader will not save your changes.
1 Fill out the form, using the mouse or tab key to move between fields
2 Choose File and Print, or click on the Printer icon on the Acrobat Reader toolbar
3 In the Print dialog box, make sure that the Print as image, Shrink oversized pages to paper size and expand small pages to paper size options are checked, choose the printer you want to print to, then click OK; the form will print out on your printer
Entering Information in Word
You now have the document resident on your
computer as a Word file with password protected fields where you
may now fill in. Each field is of limited space; do not enter so
much information that it cannot fit into the field. Move in the document
by clicking the mouse in an open blank or by using the arrow, enter
or tab keys. Abbreviate when information will not fit in the space
provided. Editing lengthy amounts of text can be cumbersome in this
format. For the narrative portions in our application, you will need
to compose your answer on a separate document.
Printing the Application Supplement
Once you are done entering the information,
simply print it out and attach necessary narrative and additional
attachments. You may encounter a message while printing that the
print area is larger than printable margins. Just press ok, and printing
will continue without problem.
Submitting the Application
When you have completed printing your completed application supplement, go
over the Application Checklist and ensure you have all of the necessary
attachments. Submit the whole package, including the California Cultural Data Project Funder's Report, to us by February
12, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. Again, we will only accept hard copy submissions
of our application.
New applicants are strongly encouraged to inform Grants for the
Arts of any upcoming performances or exhibitions so that staff will
have the opportunity to perform a site visit.
If you have difficulty downloading the application, we can email
it to you. Please call Brett Conner at 415.554.6710 to request this
option. You can also email Brett. |
