PDF won't save information, unless it's on this computer!

I need help! I don't have scripting experience or anything, but I'm working on making a form easier to use at work through LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat 9. I have the form set up the way I like it, and I can save information that I input in it on my home computer, but as soon as I try to input and save the same information at work, it doesn't happen (only saves a blank copy of the form).

What do I need to incorporate in order to let myself and other users save information in it?

Hi PDBaker,

What application are you using to fill the form out at where it doesn't work? The free Adobe Reader or Acrobat Standard or Pro?

If you are trying to fill it out with the free Adobe Reader at work you need to enable fill/save rights to the form in Acrobat Pro or Standard 9 first. So, at home open the form in Acrobat Pro, go to Advanced ->Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader, then save the form. Now it can be filled out in Adobe Reader and saved.Hope this helps,

Dimitri
