I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with a read only field. I distributed the form and received about 100 responses. In my portfolio I was able to change the read only setting so that I could enter the data I needed in the form. I did this by going to  
The feature under forms "add edit fields" is not accessible and I can not right click on the text field to see a properties option.
 
Any help would be appreciated

Once you distribute a form, certain restrictions are placed on the editability of the file. To be able to go back and edit that field, open the form in Acrobat and choose File > Save a Copy. On the new saved version, you should then be able to edit the properties of all your fields.
