Page 6: Addendum
The addendum has been provided for you to include up to 7 photos (in addition to the one included on page 1) of the
job being performed. It is not necessary to include additional photos for all jobs – but a visual representation of the
job being performed adds value to the analysis, and can be useful for a reader who is unfamiliar with the job. Below
each photo box is a text box. Click in the area below each photo to indicate a caption of what the photo depicts.
TO PRINT/SAVE
Once satisfied that the PDA has been completed, return to page 1 and click on the "Print Form" button in the top left
corner of the page. You can print one or more hard copies of the PDA on your printer, or save an electronic version.
If you are using a professional edition of a PDF viewer
Select "Save As" and give each PDF a meaningful name. With the addition of many photographs, the file
size will likely be quite large. To decrease the file size, you can create a PDF of the fillable form. To do
this, select File > Print > and choose Adobe PDF instead of your regular printer.
Warning: You will no longer be able to edit this file. Therefore when prompted, ensure to give it another
name so as not to save over the fillable version.
If you are using a free version of a PDF viewer
You may not be able to save the completed form as an electronic copy without first installing PDF
creation/converter software. There are many free versions of PDF creation/converter software available
on the internet to allow you to do this.
