Blocking saving a PDF.

I use Acrobat 7.0 Professional. Although I see how to block someone from opening a file or making changes to a form, I cannot find anywhere in security where I can allow them to fill in a form, print it, but then not be able to save the form. Does such a feature exist?

The free Reader does not allow saving, unless you give the user saving rights in Acrobat 8 Pro or Adobe Reader Extension Server.

Acrobat users can save the file, unless you use a Digitial Rights Management (DRM) system such as Adobe Policy Server or Adobe Document Central ($20 a month).

Acrobat 8.1 Professional can enable the extended rights for a form created in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer.
