I started to create a form at home with Adobe Designer 8.0 on a Windows XP machine running SP2. When I saved part of my work, I emailed it to me at the office. My office machine also runs XP SP2. I am using Acrobat Pro/Designer 7.0 here at work.

I try to open the document in Designer 7.0 and I have a blank background and all of my fields are present. The document properties say that I'm not allowed to Change the Document, Assemble Documents or Create Template Pages. I didn't set any protections before I saved it and emailed it to my work account and I was sure to save it as a Adobe 7.0 PDF. Was there something that I missed in the saving process before I emailed it to work?

Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from the gallery soon.

Cheers,
TSR

When your form is open in Designer 8 and you go to the File > Form Properties, what does it say under the Compatibility tab?Are you opening your form in Designer 7 or Acrobat? Acrobat doesn't allow you to edit LiveCycle Designer forms so the document properties will be as mentioned above when opened in Acrobat.

Form Type: Acrobat 7 (Static) Form
Text Formatting: Version 7
Event Model: Version 7

I am opening the form in Acrobat Designer 7.0 and I see my form fields but my background is not visible and I can not add new form fields. The form looks fine in Acrobat Pro 7 and Reader 9. I simply can't edit it in any way.
