... -> saving filled pdf form--not

[Wanda Hill]

Tom, thanks for info and url! I did see Adobe pushing LifeCycle Readers
Extension. Also asked husband his opinion, and he says SOMEONE has to
pay for the capability and suspects IRS makes the filled forms saveable
by paying for it. I just now tried a workaround by saving the form as
commentable and testing it. Well, now the pdf is not fillable.

I told the engineer here the path of least resistance is to have the
end user (in-house) just fill the Word form and save it as something
else. Biggest downside to the pdf form is that if the source needs
changing, the pdf form creation process would have to occur all over
again. --Wanda

Reader has limited capability to work with form data. For example,
Reader cannot save form data locally, nor can users digitally sign
forms, unless you buy another product from Adobe or subscribe to a
service. (The product is Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server. The
service is from FormRouter.)
