Tried to save an application form from the internet, but doesn't open in word? HELP!?

[Bad girl gone good :)]

I urgently need this application form,
However, when I click the save button at the bottom of the page, and click the saved version from my desktop, the words go all weird. What I mean by that, is some options like Chinese etc comes up and when I click on any option, it is just pages of jumble of letters and symbols.

I hope that makes sense, how can I save this form on my desktop and then fill out without having troubles with it!

This is the form. http://www.magentastar.co.uk/documents/O...n-Form.pdf

Thanks for all your help! If there is any questions, just check back at this question I will add some more info.

its a PDF and requires ADOBE Acrobat Reader which 99.9% of all pc's have already installed.

maybe you think you can open it with something else.....bad idea

This form is in PDF format and will not open in word. You will need a PDF reader such as Adobe Reader. You can download it here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ you should be able to open, read, and edit the document.

Works fine for me when I right-click "open in new tab" it opens in my pdf reader (SumatraPDF)
You can't type in the form though, it needs to be saved, printed, filled out, re-scanned and then emailed.

Hi,

That is a PDF file so it will not open in word, sorry.

You will need a pdf reader to view the file correctly such as :-

http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/reader.html

It is free.

If you just download the file then try a site like this to convert the file to a word file:-

https://www.pdftoword.com/

If you get stuck email me and I'll try to do it for you.

Only Word 2013 allows you to open and edit a PDF.

Word 2007 allows you to save as a PDF with a free add-on from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...px?id=9943

Word 2010 and newer does not require an add-on to save as a PDF.

You need either Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader to open a PDF. I use Adobe Reader as the default to open a PDF even though I have Word 2013.
