Prior to Adobe Acrobat becoming the standard solution for filling out government agency forms, many companies kept a sad-looking IBM Selectric hidden away for those few forms that could still only be typewritten. The price is particularly hefty since Lotus Forms largely duplicates the functionality of Adobe Acrobat which most companies have already purchased.
Of course, Lotus Forms Viewer, although it has a trial version that can be used for free for 60 days, comes at a hefty price. IBM bought PureEdge in 2005, so that Lotus Forms Viewer 3.5.1 is, in essence, the newest version of the PureEdge Viewer.
Industry is strongly encouraged to maintain a Windows XP system with Internet Explorer versions 6 or 7 to use for all DTrade transactions at this time.Īnother solution that DDTC says might work is to upgrade to IBM’s Lotus Forms Viewer 3.5.1. (Can you sign an Adobe form in Windows 7? You bet your bippy you can.)ĭDTC’s solution would make a Luddite, but not anyone else, smile: And, as you may know, if you can’t digitally sign a license application, you can’t submit it to DDTC. It seems that PureEdge isn’t compatible with Windows 7 and that PureEdge forms can’t be digitally signed by exporters who have upgraded their computers to Windows 7.
Well, an interesting notice that appeared at the end of December should have raised a few eyebrows about DDTC’s choice of PureEdge Viewer. It’s probably safe to assume that no one had ever heard of PureEdge before it became a mandatory part of D-Trade. For reasons known only to the IT folks at the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”), the agency’s electronic export licensing system (D-Trade) adopted the quirky, non-standard PureEdge Viewer as the software required to fill out and digitally sign export license applications forms rather than the industry standard (and widely installed) Adobe Acrobat.
