Form created in Lifecycle designer will not function in reader 7 Help?

I created a form in Lifecycle designer 8.1 and I finally got the form just they way I want it. I then save the form in Lifecycle as a acrobat 7 dynamic form and I get a message on opening the form that says you need to upgrade your version of reader, and my submit button does not work as well as my signature spaces.

Does anybody know how I can get these functions to work with acrobat reader 7 with out losing the functionality I have built in with lifecycle 8?

Or is there a work around so I can get a submit by email button to submit the pdf and 6 signature boxes to work in Acrobat reader 7?

It sounds like you need to open your form in Acrobat Pro 8 and enable usage rights. Click on Advanced/Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader... Then you should see a window that will explain the rights that will be available for those with Acrobat Reader and you can click 'save.' Hopefully, this should work; but I believe it will only work for those with Reader versions 6 or above.
