Provide a page that displays a blank form 605 for testing browsers

16 votes

ExamTools should provide a test page that displays a blank form 605 (or other PDF content) for testing browsers. Ideally, this should not require any credentials or login to ExamTools. This would make it easy for VE Teams to verify that tablets or other devices they supply are properly configured to display PDF content, to prevent surprises after a candidate completes their exam, attempts to preview the 605 and CSCE, and discovers that preview does not display correctly. This same page could be used by candidates to verify that the device / browser they plan to use functions correctly.

Would be a good test option to minimize the chance of form display errors. Great suggestion!

Why not go to a session ( including one that has not happened) and print the 605 of an applicant. Even if they are just registered they have a 605 form that can be viewed.

This just seems odd to me that the tablet is not displaying a 605. I have a variety of Fire tablets of varying ages/models and some iPad. Never seen one not display the 605. Sometimes it is slow to load if the WiFi is iffy. Even in remote testing it is very rare to not be able to see the 605 on an applicant device.

Just make sure the sample form has a large, diagonal "SAMPLE" watermark!
