Hi jreece,

If you would like to save form data from Reader, then you will need to Reader-enable the form first with Acrobat Pro. version 8. Once the form is Reader-enabled then anyone using the Reader can save the form field to a given file location.

If this is not the process you were looking for then I would recommend reviewing Thom Parker's article on Submitting form data at:

Hope this helps,
Lori
