Both sides of the file the form sends, drawn to the measure of the PDF itself — A4, 22 mm margins, the sections in the order you will read them. The bars are where the type sits; the headings beside them are the document’s own, verbatim. Nothing here is a placeholder, so you can see exactly what the address buys before you spend it.
Would rather read it online first?
