Hi,

I created fillable forms in Acrobat Pro 9.
I followed the steps for "Enable Rights" from the forum. I saved the file with this option.
I reopened the file in "Acrobat Reader 7". I entered data and saved it. Worked great so far!

When I reopened it in Acrobat Reader 7, I saw my data filled in but I cannot re-enter any data. Is this a one-time option only?? Often users save their file as they keep entering data or want to change this later. How can this be achieved?

Thanks ahead.

Suman.

You would still be able to make changes to the data entered into the fields once the rights enabled form is saved and reopened. So something else is probably going on. Did you add a signature? One of the options on the signature box is to lock the form after the signature is applied. So that would cause the same issue that you described. Also you may want to check the security settings.
