NOTE: If you currently have Pure Edge viewer and ApproveIt installed, I recommend you uninstall both programs and restart your computer before proceeding. It will drastically speed up the install process below. The Lotus Forms program has the ability to uninstall Pure Edge automatically, but in my experience with others, it can take several hours.
NEWS:Update to the Army migrating to Adobe fillable forms. Army Publishing Directorate plans to no longer support Lotus Forms and eSign software after 1 October 2014. 1 October 2014 is also the date when the new PDF-F forms will replace the former .xfdl type forms. I hope these forms will work for Mac users since Lotus and ApproveIt has never worked for them. Please know that the current EES system requires IBM (Lotus) Forms and eSign to allow signing of OERs (currently) and NCOERs (in the future). Ylands for mac.
