Is it possible to create a form with Acrobat Pro that allows users with Reader to enter information and then save it onto their computer? I have a long survey that can't always be completed in one sitting and users would need to save it to complete later. Seems that Reader will only let them save a blank copy of the form.
If you have Acrobat 8 Professional you can apply special Usage Rights to your PDF form that will enable end users with the Free Adobe Reader to fill out and save the form on thier computer, so this also means they can fill the form out in several sessions if needed.
This is a new feature of Acrobat 8 Pro so it bears repeating you MUST have Acrobat 8 Professional to apply the Rights to the PDf that enables Readers users to save the filled out form.
You can read about how to use this functionality in this article by Ted Padova here at AcrobatUsers.com-
