Enabling Adobe Reader users to Save Form Data using Adobe Acrobat
Normally, Adobe Reader users can fill in a form but cannot save the form with their changes. To enable Reader 8.0 and above users to fill in and save a form with changes, add comments, use the Typewriter tool, and digitally sign the PDF, do the following:
- Open a single PDF, or preview a component PDF in a PDF Portfolio.
- If you are editing the form, click Close Form Editing in Forms task pane.
- Choose File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
- These extended privileges are limited to the current PDF. When you create a different PDF form, you must perform this task again to enable Reader users to save their own filled-in copies of that PDF.
