The LA Superior Court has a subpoena download that is in PDF. I can see it, and download it. It is also fillable. However, the Arbitration judge wants it in docx. I have Word on my computer, plus the free version of the Adobe Reader. This is a one time thing for me. I am not an attorney. Does anyone know a way that I can turn the subpoena form into docx? Is there an older (and now perhaps free) PDF application that will do what I need? Thanks

I don't know if you're legally allowed to tamper with California.gov approved court forms.

They are distributed in PDF to prevent people from modifying them.

Best advice, contact a paralegal or form preparation service in your area and ask them if they know of a .docx version of the form that you could use.

Thanks. I guess I'll have to wait until after the long week end to see if the arbitration people have a work around for this problem. I don't want to tamper with anything.

Good thinking.

AFAIK, .docx is not an approved file type used by the California Superior courts. But Los Angeles might have some of their own county forms in .docx. That kind of thing varies from county to county though.
