Please note that because RescueGroups.org must set up this feature for you, adding or updating PDF contracts can take several days to a couple of weeks depending on any changes that are required and our current workload. We can also provide the information necessary for you to update your PDF files yourself for the contract if you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat. The updated files would be sent to our support staff and uploaded to your organization account. |
PDF Contract Setup
RescueGroups.org sets up this feature for you. We take an existing PDF or a Word document and create the required PDF form. We may ask for a small fee depending on the complexity of your contract or the frequency of changes.
