    I tried all weekend, including most of Father's Day. I cannot get my software to work. I even watched a youtube video. I converted it to a Word document. I tried to download Revu but it required a Microsoft service pack that I could not download.

    I am so exasperated. I know they will judge my daughter on her merits, not on her mother's ability to convert a pdf file. I know that rationally, and yet, I wanted it to look neatly typed.

    I'm certainly no expert, but I downloaded the Bluebeam then opened the application and clicked "Mark Up" on top tool bar and used the "typewriter" option.

    I haven't a clue if this is the right way, but it worked well enough and I finished the application in 20 minutes. (I'm not a wordy person so hopefully my short answers are good enough.
    GOOD LUCK!

    I could not even load Bluebeam, because it required a Microsoft service pack which I also could not load. But I'm really happy that it worked out so well for you. We have XP, not Windows 7, maybe that makes a difference.

    I'm with MoN. I don't think Davidson cares much about form. I think it's all about the content.

    I printed the questions along with their answers in a Word document and attached it with the application. DS was accepted, so I guess it was okay. smile

    We did the same. I will use the software option in the future.
