end users are not able to save interactive pdf form created with designer

I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have created a pdf form but my end users are not able to save edited form. Does this have something to do with whether the form is static or dynamic. If so, I am not exactly sure how to use the restorestate option to convert it back to static. I also tried to enable the "user rights access in adobe reader" under the advance menu and had no luck.

My end users have acrobat reader 9 - do I need them to download anything else, maybe professional.

This has nothing to do with the form and everything to do with Reader Extensions. You use Acrobat Pro to Reader Extend the form not Reader.

Thanks Paul for your reponse

In my Adobe Pro I don't see the option Reader Extend rather I enabled "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" amd I figured this was somewhat the same. So if I enabled this option in Adobe Pro already and they are still not able to edit the fillable text slots or save it what other option do I have in figuring this out.

That is the correct option ...make sure that you save out the file from Acrobat with a different name (to ensure you have the correct one). I add an RE to the filename (filenameRE.pdf) that way I know I have the right one.

That should do it.

Paul,

Should the RE version take away the drop-down and the save button I've created?  I want the user that only has Reader to be able to use the drop-down, and save button.
