Reader-enabling a PDF form for saving user-entered data Kurt Foss – Feb 11, 2007 One of the most-often-requested features from Acrobat users has been for an easy way to allow end users to save data entered into PDF forms.

The latest version now allows the enabling of extended rights so Adobe Reader users can save filled-in copies of forms they complete.

Popup menus for Acrobat (A great user-interface item) Thom Parker – Feb 5, 2007 Acrobat 5.0 introduced a new user-interface item, the popup menu.

Popup menus are created dynamically through the App Object so they don’t take up any space on the PDF, a definite plus in many situations. Another big advantage over the combo box field is the ability to create hierarchical lists of choices, making popup menus more useful for many types of applications.
