Hello all, I am a new user with a very basic question (I hope).
 
It deals with this .pdf: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AboutFDA/ReportsManualsForms/Forms/UCM076880.pdf
 
I need to find out if this specific .pdf hosted at the FDA website can be saved after end-user defined information is added to the fields provided by the original form.
 
The security settings and "permission details" says it can be downloaded (I have done this), but with acrobat (any version) can I input data into the fields and then save the .pdf as a new file and keep the newly entered data? With reader, I can input, but cannot save (i can print) any data I enter.
 
Thanks for the help in advance; I hope I was clear enough with my question.

Yes you can.

Remember there's a fully-functional free trial of Acrobat X Pro if you want to test specific features.

Users with Reader actually cannot save this form filled, as it has not been Reader Enabled yet.

Thank you both for the replies. I had considered the free trial, but was hoping for a quick answer before going through the DL/install process.

Thanks again.

Sorry UVSAR, I didn't know you cannot accept more than one answer as helpful/good/etc. Your reply was indeed helpful as was the response from radzmar
