Saving content entered in a form created in LiveCycle Designer

If I create a form with expandable fields in Live Cycle Designer, what program does the reader need to have to read the form, enter content and save the form?

You can create the form in LiveCycle Designer, save it as a static PDF form, then open it in Acrobat and Select save as other, Select Reader Extended PDF then Select Enable more tools (includes form fill-in & save)...  This will allow other people to fill in the form and save/send the form were ever they want to.  I hope this helps you.

thank you!  so i follow those steps, the user would be able to open it, enter content, save it and send it back to me with Adobe Reader?

I am making an application for a contest and I do not know what software will be availabel to the contestats on their personal computers.  I dont' want to purchase LiveCycle Designer ( which I only need becuse I need the expandable text box feature) if the end user will not be able to complete the form unless they have a certain program.

You can also add a Email submit button and program it with a Email Address and Email subject.
