Mac Users

To use our desktop ACORD forms software, Forms Boss Plus, on a Mac, you will have to install Windows XP or higher on your Mac.  To do so, you must own a copy of Windows (XP or later) and you must also use a special utility to allow your Mac to run Windows.  There are several options for this utility:

·      Boot Camp is a free utility from Apple that allows you to boot up using either Windows or Mac OS.  You can install Boot Camp at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/.  (The website FAQ section explains how this feature works.) To utilize Forms Boss Plus, you will need to boot your computer in Windows. 

·      If you prefer, it is also possible to run the Windows operating system within a “window” of your Mac OS, rather than booting up your computer entirely in Windows mode.  The first option (VirtualBox) is a free open source solution.  The other options require the purchase of a software package that allows for this convenient feature:

1.  VirtualBox - https://www.virtualbox.org

2.    Parallels - http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

3.    VMware Fusion - http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
