I need to provide a summary report for a form that I have created. I just discovered that I cannot create a new report from data on this form unless the users have adobe acrobat standard or acrobat pro.

What are my options if the users only have the adobe reader software?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.3.1, Windows

If you could provide more details about the report you're generating and describe the general workflow, we may be able to suggest alternatives.

Thanks for the reply.

The original form is a standard expense reimbursement from (similiar to the one found on this site in the form library) with the days of the week horizontally across the top of the form and line items running vertically.

For each day, the user can enter a total expense amount for a particular line item. However, there may be a need for itemizing the total of one field. For instance in one field $150 is entered...of which $25 is for parking and $125 for rental car. I have another page on the form which allows the user to itemize, but after all is entered, I would like a button to print a report by day, by line item with the itemized expenses listed out.

Since I cannot produce a report for Adobe Reader, my options seem limited to provide the user with a summary page of the report of the itemized and non-itemized amounts per day.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

That was going to be my suggestion. Maybe others have different ideas.
