Issue: How do I get the Acrobat 9 Reader user to be able to edit a fillable form then save and reopen the same form and save again?

Method:

Using Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional I made some comments/markup -> SAVE

Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 I added some objects -> SAVE

Results:

When opening the file using Acrobat Professional 9, I can "Save" and "Save As". Everything seem OK.

When opening the file using Adobe Acrobat 9 Reader, users are not able to edit the fillable form.

I've gone Advanced -> Extend Features to Acrobat 9 Reader from Acrobat 9 Professional. I still wasn't able to save on the Reader.

How do I get the Acrobat 9 Reader user to be able to edit a fillable pdf and save it to the hard drive and update the file multiple times?

My Product Information:
Reader 9.0, Windows

OK

You can't have your users w/ a reader edit a form and save the form on their computer.

Also make sure you have a copy of the form before extended rights are applied, it can be trying to get back to a fully editable copy.
