When th euser submits information back you can program the submit button to send back th eentire PDF or just the data. If you choose just the data you will get an XML data file. Now you can open your version of the form (with the database connectivity in it) and import the data file into your form. All fields will be filled as if the user typed the info into th eform and you can use your database buttons to do what you wish with it.
If you have Acrobat then you do not need to worry about the Reader Extensions part. By default Reader does not have the functionality in it to allow database connections and saving of the PDF locally. This functionality can be turned on by using Reader Extensions. This is done on a form by form basis. By having your users send the data file there is no local save requirement and if you are using Acrobat there is no need for Reader Extensions to allow database connectivity.
Make sense?
