Saving Fillable Forms on a MAC
There is a special process for saving the data in a fillable form (e.g., a subpoena) on a Mac. If you
do not follow these steps, your form will most likely arrive at the Clerk’s office with no data
visible. **This could cause your filing to be rejected!**
• Go to http://www.mcclerkofcourts.org/forms/ to find a form.
• Click on “Download” to open the form.
• You can either save the blank form to your computer (to reuse) or fill it in before saving.
• Once you have completed the form, follow these instructions to save the form as a PDF and
retain the data therein:
o Click “File.”
o Click “Print.” (Don’t worry; you don’t need to have your printer ready at this point. You
are actually “printing” the Word document to a PDF document, not a printer.)
o Find “PDF” on your screen. It’s usually down in the bottom left, but the location can
vary depending on how you go into the Print screen.
o Click on “PDF” and then “Save as PDF…”
o Choose the location to which you want to save the document, and click Save.
o This should create a complete file to submit to the Clerk’s office.
