Could you find 8.0? - what I'm seeing on the Adobe website is only 8.1 Will that work?

I have asked NEH (yesterday am) if I may scan the filled in document and then up load, but they haven't answered me yet. Does anyone have a solution? This is a big pain!

Once I downloaded the 8.0 reader and then downloaded the form with that, it went in just fine. I hope grants.gov and NEH (and any other agencies out there!) can get on the same page with the version they require for submissions.

All the documents (minus the Supplemental info form) were converted using Adobe 7, but I had to seek out a computer with Adobe 8 for the Supplemental info form. My thought on the g.g use of Adobe 7.0.9 and NEH Adobe 8 is this: since the form is an attachment (and not part of the shell g.g package) the form should come through successfully. I guess if it doesn't, NEH is more than aware that this is an issue that shouldn't penalize the applicant (that would be my HOPE). I have had several communications with NEH on this issue. Also note that the applicants will not receive the final g.g email that says that the grantor agency has assigned the proposal a tracking number until after October 2. Please feel free to contact me directly if you think I can provide any more info: xxxxxx@uncp.edu.

We have faculty members trying to submit for next week's deadline who registered for g.g individually. One of the forms in the application package, the Supplemental Information form for Individuals, must, according to the guidelines, be downloaded and saved in Adobe 8.0. Unless that happens, according to NEH, the form can't be saved. We have Adobe 7.0. While the application submitted today passed successfully through g.g, it was rejected by NEH because that pdf form was improperly saved. If I can obtain 8.0 to successfully save the form, will it be accepted in g.g even though they say 7.0.9 is their preferred version? Neither the NEH or grants.gov help desks would commit on this question. I'd appreciate any advice/opinions. Thanks!
