Customizable Text Fields

I own Acrobat Pro 8. I want to create a PDF document for our customers and have text field where they can enter their own store name, address and phone number. I have tried this by simply adding a text box and it seems to work, but when I then go to Acrobat Reader, change the text and try to save it says that I have to have Pro 8 in order to save the changes.

How can I create a text field that my customers can modify and save?

Thank you so much!
Eric

You need to Enable your form for Reader Rights. To do this, select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" from the Advanced menu in Acrobat 8 Pro.
