| Yes it's so annoying.. and the State has no ideas.. I'm on a Mac and found that by using this "PDF Writer" app I can save is as a PDF for printing at Kinkos.. | PDFwriter_for_Mac_1.2.1

I get a message that this form needs Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat 5.0 or higher. My
Foxit PDF reader apparently lacks a necessary feature. Sounds as if the State of NY
is trying to push Adobe.
