Russian forms
#belarus
Carlton Brooks <carltonb@...>
I have had great success using ADOBE ACROBAT on forms. The form is
scanned and converted to a (.PDF) format. It then can be sent as a file and read and printed through the ADOBE ACROBAT READER which is available for free. Carlton Brooks carltonb@home.com MODERATOR NOTE: Carlton, we may ask you to convert a letter to PDF if someone is able to create it in Russian and Lithuanian. Sound like you have the software and hardware to do this. Thanks.
