What you cant do is save the pdf containing the data you entered unless you buy a very expensive authoring tool from adobe(something nasty like nearly $1000!). This tool enables something called the "local save" feature - so a user with pdf reader would see a save option that would let them save the form compltete with data.

I see that the free foxit reader lets you open a pdf form file and lets you save data in the file - but its probably not realistic to tell the world to go with the foxit reader (even though I tell everyone that I can :-) ).

Does anyone know of a free/cheap/demo tool that enables the "local save" feauture in a pdf form document so that I can distribute a pdf form file that people can fill in and save?
