Sorry it took so long to get to this point, but your post from today specifies the problem in enough detail that I can answer it.  I was answering more technical questions than you were having, which caused some confusion.  The solution really is simple, but you need to be on the proper software to enable this. We listened to the needs of our customers, similar to the complaints that you are expressing, and added this feature in Acrobat 8.

You will need to upgrade your version of Acrobat to Acrobat 8 at least. We added the ability to locally save filled in forms in Acrobat 8. In Acrobat X, at least from information on the website, you can reader-extend forms in either the Standard or Pro version, although you'll probably want Pro so that you get a new Designer as well.  You can see a brief demo that is linked from the "Collect data with fillable PDF forms" on the Acrobat Standard page.

Note that you still will not be able to comment if this is a dynamic form.

Just so long as the form that you create is a PDF 1.6 (a save as selection in designer), these forms should still work with the older Reader versions.
