Hi Pete, Hi Neil Thanks to your collective advice I have now successfully completed the Proxy Form and sent it on its way.

Pete, I don't know if it will help you track down the problem - but my set-up/action was: OSX 10.6.8, Firefox 18.0.2 with pdf plug-in 2.4.4. When I click on the pdf link in Firefox, it opens in Firefox with the pdf plug-in. I then right-clicked and chose to open the pdf in preview. I then filled in the form in Preview and did a "save as" to the desktop. Then add to email (client is Entourage 2004!) Checked sent message and attachment is fine with form filled in.
