Certain forms and other documents issued by the Accountancy Board of Ohio are made available on our Web site in portable document format. This format is useful for making generally accurate renditions of forms and other graphics that are not comprised solely of text. A document in this format is called a PDF file, and has the file extension .pdf after the file name.

A free software program called Adobe® Acrobat® Reader is available which will read PDF files so that they can be printed by a person accessing our Web site. Acrobat Reader may be obtained free from the Adobe Systems, Inc. Web site. We recommend that you use at least version 7 of Acrobat Reader.

Any person who is blind or visually impaired and who cannot access our PDF files with their Web browser may contact the Access Adobe Web site. That site contains tools developed by Adobe that will enable a screen reader to translate the PDF document into recognizable speech by converting the text in a PDF file to HTML format.

The tools cannot interpret scanned documents. Such documents are graphic images and not true text-based documents. Adobe also states that these tools are not intended to be used as full featured PDF to HTML conversion programs.

You may also obtain a copy of the forms by calling our office at 1-614-466-4135, sending us electronic mail, or writing us. Our address is: Accountancy Board of Ohio, 77 South High Street, 18th Floor, Columbus, OH 43215-6128.
