Is volunteerism totally dead in this supposedly member-driven club? If so, that's a sad comment on the membership.
Seems to me that historically lots of things were done by volunteers or folks working for very minimal stipends (Derek Delpero and Greg LeClaire come to mind at once; I'm sure there were others during and before 'my time').
I know there are lots of members with the requisite skillsets to make forms, both 'plain' Acrobat and fill-forms.
I'm of the opinion, based on
that it is not realistic to anticipate that the Administrator can pick-up the task as a part of their duties. That a function of time, nothing to do with compensation.
- over ten years doing the task
- knowing how annual changes affect forms (having 2019 forms most likely does not eliminate significant work for the next season, IMO)
- knowing when the data required to finalize forms gets 'fixed' by the BoD, and
- knowing what the Administrator workload is like in the (ahem) "off" season
I understand and appreciate that the (volunteer) BoD is spending a lot of personal time and energy to address costs control and increase paying-member participation in these challenging times. I'd suggest that efforts to increase volunteerism should be added to their already substantial agenda. Or, lacking success on that front, perhaps innovating 'barter' arrangements to gain member-skill contributions to benefit the club in exchange for club-offerings which have a lower impact on overall finances than outright cash compensation (forms development in exchange for race-entry vouchers?).Originally Posted by Joseph Caruso

With apology for the digression / hijack and getting back to topic: If anyone has a particular problem with these forms while using Genuine Adobe Acrobat software, please post in this thread and I'll try to help.
