I just contacted our local flood-plain coordinator (Louisville KY MSD), and they told me that the old certificates are still valid.

I tried your conversion and it dIdnt work well for me ... When I tried to edit the fields to add the data it would shift other text and check box features around in a way that doesn't make sense.
When FEMA created their word version of the old cert, the "locked" everything in place except the data fields .... I don't get the impression that a good form is easy to make, so I'm hoping FEMA will post a Word format when the update their official elevation certificate download page.
I do appreciate the effort, though.
Does somebody at FEMA have "silent financial arrangement" with someone at ADOBE. :whistle:
My Adobe XI Pro faultered after an update was installed on my Enhanced Dell hub computer. Will have to reinstall and forget the update.
Adobe XI Pro on the P6 Diamond opened the file with no problems.
I reckon not all motherboards are the same.........
Someone in this thread posted the new EC and when I opened it, it is a word document and on 8 1/2 x 11. I called FEMA and they told me as long as the insurer accepted 8 1/2 x 11 they are OK with that size. She did tell me FEMA is trying to be more "up to date" on paper sizes so my guess it 8 1/2 x 14 is "modern"? Gosh, maybe in the future we can hope to see 11 x17.
Using Adobe DC, (Adobe on-line Acrobat subscription), opens the pdf just fine, text entry fine, but same old problem with image inserts. Has anyone found a solution?

I was wondering that exact same thing...
I wouldn't mind a PDF format if you can insert pics, save it, and edit it later. Seems like you can't do any of that ... easily, any way.
I'm going to keep using the last form until they update their official website. I'm still hoping they put out both a PDF and Word format, like they did last time ... maybe that is why they haven't posted the new el cert, yet, they are still working on the Word format.

It's funny that their site says it was updated Jan. 6th, but nothing is actually updated.

Noticed that, too.
Like you, I'm going to wait until it's replaced. I tried working with it last night, but got frustrated and quit.

Got this from our local City:
Good morning All,
Please follow the link below to download the new FEMA Elevation Certificate and Floodproofing Certificate.
The City of Pasadena, Texas requires this new form to be used for all developments within City of Pasadena's jurisdiction.
We heard directly from a FEMA official yesterday that the new Elevation Certificate has NOT been officially released nor is it to be used until it is officially released. This is why its not available on the website...

If it was in writing, could you post?
My local floodplain administrator didn't accept the "old" form. She sent me a pdf (which couldn't be edited) of the new form. I had to fill it out by hand and copy and paste the photos. I would rather have waited; but, she was pressing me and I didn't know FEMA's stance.
FEMA should end the confusion and update their webpage, one way or the other. They've already extended the last form a couple of times, but those have expired, it still says the last one was good until Nov. 2015. How hard would be to make that say March 2016, or whatever, so that we know what their position is.

It was verbal only - in a meeting I am pushing for particulars...
