Are you having a problem sending back your booth request form to Gasparilla? Here is the solution.

I got an email today from the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts saying that people were complaining because they couldn't save the PDF form, so they could send back their booth request. There is a simple solution to this problem. If you only have Adobe Acrobat reader, you can only save the file as is. You cannot fill out the form and save it because, as it says, it is only allows you to read the form. You need the full version of Acrobat to be able to fill out the form. You can, however, print to a file, which allows you to save the file to your computer. If you have a Mac, simply click print and then choose "print to PDF." With Windows based computers there are 2 small applications you must install before you can do this. One is the program called CutePDF Writer and the other is called Ghostscript. Both are free. Cute PDF Writer allows you to create PDF files and edit them, much like the full version Acrobat. The other is an open-source application that lets your printer read the PDF, for publication.

Here is the link to where you can get the files: http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/Writer.asp

After you install the 2 apps, bring up your booth request form, fill it out, and click "print" as if you were going to print the form. There will be an option called "print to CutePDF Writer." Chose that one and it will save the completed form to the folder of your choice, most likely your "Documents" folder. Then, just attach that file to an email and send it to the show.
