Creating PDF forms to be saved in Acrobat 7 reader

[Ross Lindsay]

Hi I currently use Acrobat 6 on macintosh to create/manipulate and add form fields to PDF documents. Previously Acrobat Reader 6 allowed saving of filled-in forms, however Acrobat 7 reader has seemingly disabled this functionality. From what I can gather you require Acrobat 7 Professional to create forms that can then be saved by users. However looking into it more it seems this functionality is only available to windows users.

I am not sure if this can be correct? Am i missing something?

Is there a recommended way of overcoming this?

Thanks,
Ross

You're mistaken. Acrobat never had this capability out of the box.

Thanks Mark,

Yeah you're right. Am I right in presuming then that you can create a saveable PDF form from Windows Acrobat 7. (And not the mac version at this stage)

Nope. There is the server product, LiveCycle Reader Extensions that will enable PDFs to be saved by Reader, but its a multi-thousand dollar product, out of the realm of most consumers.
