IHT Form - self filling boxes

Mr_Sark

Quick query re: these forms, currently filling in IHT 205, however the total's boxes don't seem to self populate, and I can't add the figure myself unless I print out the form and write it in..

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Reader (non pro edition) and have tried it on both the mac and PC.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong.

(eg. Box A, B, C and the others)

It's probably not anything you are doing wrong. I recently completed IHT400 and the various schedules and not all boxes were fillable which was highly frustrating, I ended up typing what the forms would allow and completed the remaining boxes/information by hand.

Ahh, thank you, it helps to know it's not just me.

I downloaded the form a week ago, and I've been using Reader DC (2019)

I might download the form and try again.. thanks

After spending hours working this out - if you use a Mac, the on-line forms need to be downloaded from the GOV website in Chrome NOT safari.  Even if you complete the forms in the latest Adobe reader DC they still won't work if you've originally downloaded them using safari.
