Can you create a fillable form that can be saved by the client?

Level 2

I created a very lengthy business planing guide in this program and sent it out for testing - only to find out that if the user only has basic adobe (not any pro programs) they can't save the document - they have to complete it and print it or else loose all their work. Is there a setting somewhere that I missed that will allow the document to be saved? Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You must apply the Reader extension to make the form "saveable."

If you are not using ACrobat you will need to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server (LRES). LRES is a server product costing much more than Acrobat and is used for, among other things, enabling PDFs for Reader users to save form data.

If using Acrobat, it depends on which version you're using:

Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader

Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
