Hi all,

Ok so I just Adobe LiveCycle Designer on Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to make a new form with no security on it. So pretty much the PDF is wide open to users to do what ever they want to it. But once I save it and try to open it using Acrobat reader on click an a area to type in info I get a message that tells me “Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it in and print it.”

So my question is why is this happing when I left the PDF with no security.

My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows

If you check you do not get this message with Acrobat, as Acrobat can save modified PDFs.

As the product name [b]Reader[/b] implies, this program can only [b]Read[/b]. This means no comments, no saving of data, no modifying of the PDF. Now for a PDF that has had special rights extended to the PDF, it is possible for Reader to save a copy of the form, but that is the form has had specaial rights extended to the form.
