If I create a smart form in 7.0PRo and email it to others to fill out, if they only have Reader, how do they email the completed form back to me since they can't save it in Reader?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7, Windows

You need to use Acrobat 8 and enable the form with Adobe Reader usage rights. When the user submits the form back to you the entire PDF is sent back. Submitting forms in earlier versions of Acrobat using files not enabled with Reader usage rights only permit the user to submit the field data back to you.

Upgrade to Acrobat 8. It's a must for PDF forms developers.
