Help with PDF forms—making them work forWindows users

[tuqqer@adobeforums.com]

I'm using a new user of Acrobat 8.0.0 and having a helluva time figuring out how to make PDF forms that work for Windows users.

I can make the forms okay and Mac users can fill them out (using either Preview or Reader), and I get them emailed to me just fine. But all of the PC users that I send them to tell me that they "can't save them."

Here's a test PDF I've created (with just a few plain fields in it):

Can someone who's got XP tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or what I can tell my XP users how to save it and be able to email it back with their text.

thank you!

You need to enable Reader Rights.

Advanced -> Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader

Keep in mind that there is a limit to how many times that form can be used/saved. Read the EULA.

Worked on my Firefox browser PDF plug-in running XP on my MBP. Opened the completed form in Adobe Reader 9 Windows and all looked fine. Just a note on your fields; date field not properly formatted and once filled, it has the same name as the NAME field. Just make sure our fields are named separately.

Best.

thanks, all. I'm watching the Acrobat videos at Lynda.com. There's more to making PDF forms than I realized.
