I have recently posted (to a website) a form, which I created from a Word document in Acrobat Pro 8.0. I enabled usage righs in Adobe Reader with the belief that those who downloaded the form would be able to save to their computer and edit and resave at their leisure so long as they had at least Adobe Reader v7.0.
Someone with Adobe Reader 7.0 was not able to do this, and kept getting a notification that "this document contains certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid"
I did not change the document since it has been posted. Why would this be happening, and is there any way to change the settings so that it is editable by the reader?
Thank you very much!

You can use the following JavaScript as a Page Open Action to warn users that their version of Reader needs to be updated.
On the Navigation panel, click the page icon, select Page Properties, click the Actions tab, Select Trigger - Page Open, Select Action: - Run A JavaScript, click Add and enter the following code:
var v = app.viewerVersion;
if (v < 8)
app.alert ("This form requires Adobe Reader 8 or later; you are using Adobe Reader " + v);
This script will open a dialog box that displays the alert message with an OK button to close the dialog box.
