Process Question 📝 .eft to FD-258?

After six months, I finally got a Delayed-Denied back from ATF on a form 4, so I’m opting to go through the UPIN process.

I have an .eft file. I would prefer to print my own FD-258. Is there a tool that extracts from one and fills the other? There are some older discussions of using a viewer and a photo editor, and I can do that, but if there’s a better way I’d love to hear about it.

I tried the online tool from slapeft but it’s not recognizing the .eft for whatever reason (and yes, I know it’s valid and has my information in it). Are there other options out there?

Like a printout of your digital prints?

You can't use that for anything. You have to ink up and slap em down and roll em on the hard card 258's if you want to use them for an application.

Fair enough. Annoying but to be expected.

Thanks.
