Any suggestions on how to create forms that allow users this option? What I'm experiencing so far is that Acrobat either saves the form as an unfillable PDF, or saves the fillable form without any of the data the user has entered... how does one save an editable copy?
Right, that was my thought, too... our users all have acrobat. but after saving a completed form, even a user with acrobat 7 finds the form empty again when he reopens it... do we really need reader extensions or is this a setting/property change in acrobat?
I am lost, I have the same question. I have adobe professional. I created a form and when someone opens it, I want them to have the ability to save the form with the fields they filled in. This should be so basic. I can't get it to work!! Please help.
If you are using LifeCycle Designer, finish your form then open it in Acrobat 8 Pro and click on the menu titled Advanced, then click Enable Usage Rights In Adobe Reader and you'll be set. When the user opens the form in Reader they will be able to save the data they enter. Be aware if you make a change to the form in Designer you will have to go back into Acrobat Pro to re-enable the usage rights. You can only do this in Acrobat Pro 8, not earlier versions.
