Known problems with qdf forms
Certain internet browsers change the file format when downloading. The file extension must be .qdf and not .xml. Once you have changed the file extension to .qdf, the form will open in Snapform Viewer.
Some internet browsers include a PDF viewer. Do not open qdf forms directly in the browser. When you download the form, you will get a dialogue. Select there that you want to save the file.
