Guest Sebastian Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Not sure if this is already common knowledge but it's the first I've heard of it. So for those of you who are just dieing to write OPRs and EPRs on their home macbook. I found a couple of mediocre options. IBM Forms Workplace Viewer: - This is pretty simple. You need to download macfuse first. I haven't been able to use the next page button though. But it at least lets me make sure my bullets have the right number of characters in each line. Citrix ICA Client: - This one will open up some windows 98 looking screen. I haven't been able to open EPRs/OPRs but the award package forms works like a champ (I don't get it). Good luck. Let me know if it works out for everyone. -S Edited April 11, 2009 by Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sebastian Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 It wouldn't download for me. Do you have Stuffit Expander installed on your mac (it's the mac equivalent of zip files)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AirForceZip Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I unzipped it and everything, it just didn't install. Are you running Leopard?

GW Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I unzipped it and everything, it just didn't install. Are you running Leopard? "I dream of an Air Force that uses programs that allow any computer to run them: good/crappy, reliable/challenged, Mac/PC." Sigh. You both had my hopes up for a second, but no luck. The installer gives me an error when I attempt to load. As far as I know there was a software update from Apple a while ago (at least since 08) that for some reason prevents the installer from loading the reader on an Intel Mac. How's that paperless Air Force working out for everyone? GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option is to get a Windows emulator--VirtualBox is free (uhh, STS I guess). http://www.macworld.com/article/139261/2009/03/vbox21.html The only trick is to find a cheap version of Win XP, but then you can run ANY of the crappy AF-approved software. -kp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeHoler Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Does anyone know why we continue to deal with proprietary shit (xfdl) when we have the same capability in PDF? Especially since PDF works much better with SharePoint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous version I had tried was only the latter. Edited April 3, 2014 by Champ Kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked for the 2 forms I have used it on so far as a full up editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
