Adobe Form Client 5.0 Filler
Adobe Form Client 5.0 has replaced F3Fill as the Postal Service corporate
standard for automated forms.
Forms created in F3Fill are no longer supported within Microsoft Outlook.
F3Fill email attachments will not successfully be transmitted. No new copies
of F3Fill will be installed on desktop or laptop computers.
Adobe Form Client provides streamlined functionality for calculations,
including a spell check feature, the ability to email forms and/or data from
within the software, a tabbing function for visually impaired users, form fill
assistance, and data-saving capability.
The Postal Service has a corporate license for Adobe Form Client 5.0 Filler
software. The software is distributed as part of the Advanced Computing
Environment (ACE). For help with the installation of the software, call:
Your local IT manager (at Headquarters, call the Help Desk at
202-268-5588), or
Customer Support, Field Operation Support Services at 800-877-7435.
All automated forms are available from the Intranet (http://blue.usps.gov/
forms). The forms are sorted by name and number. Form Client forms have a
Form Client icon displayed in the right-most column of the Web page. To
access a Form Client form, click on the Form Client icon or press the Enter
key while on a particular form’s icon. Form Client will automatically launch
with the selected form.
To request that a form be automated or to request enhancements to an
existing automated form, send an email message to Forms Management at
formsma@usps.gov.
