Is there any way for a user to save data using Adobe Reader that is entered in a PDF form created in Adobe Pro V 8?

Hi wiggersp,

Yes there is. If the form is created in Acrobat 8 Pro you can enable it with Save Rights for people who fill in the form with Adobe Reader 7 or later (won't work in earlier versions of Reader).

Below are a couple resources here at AUC with details about it-

At Lori's Corner there is a video entitled "Enabling Usage Rights for Adobe Reader Users." Scroll down the page a bit to locate it.
