Viewing/Printing FastLane forms within FastLane using Adobe Reader


If you have installed and configured Adobe Reader, you can view/print the forms you have filled out using FastLane exactly as they will be viewed/printed at NSF. To install Adobe Reader on your computer:
  1. Select the "How to Use FastLane" link on the FastLane Home Page
  2. Select the "Free Software From Adobe" link
  3. Scroll down to where you see "Released Software Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader 2.1 for:
      Windows(R)
      Macintosh(R)
      Sun(TM) SPARC(R)
      HP/UX(TM)
      Silicon Graphics(R)
      IBM AIX
    and select your platform.
  4. Select the correct "Download" link and then where you want to install the software.
Once you have Adobe Reader on your computer, it is likely that you will have to configure your browser to launch Adobe Reader. If you are a Netscape user and you get an error message when you select a FastLane View/p rint button, please do the following:
  1. Open Netscape and choose the "Options" menu item.
  2. Select "General Preferences."
  3. On that screen select "Helpers."
  4. Select "application/pdf."
  5. Type "pdf" next to file extensions if it is not there.
  6. Select the "Launch Application" option and type in the location of the acroread.exe file. {For instance if you installed Adobe Acrobat Reader on your c drive, type in c:\ACROREAD\ACROREAD.EXE.}
  7. Click on "OK."
  8. Go back to FastLane and print a form using the FastLane Print button.
  9. If this does not work, email fastlane@nsf.gov.
