Acrobat 6 Professional

[qwe1204]

Hi,

I am working on a project that will require PDF documents to be filled in electronically and saved to a laptop. Then later when the laptop is reconnected to the internet the data from the PDF forms can be submitted back to a webserver.

I have created a form using acrobat 6 professional but I can't submit the data back with acrobat reader. Adobe suggested acrobat approval but again this doesn't seem to work.

Ran into the same problem myself. I spent 3 days converting a bunch of Word documents to PDF and then found out that Adobe Reader will not let you save forms and data...only print . According to Adobe, the only solution is for the person on the other end to upgrade from Adobe Reader to Adobe Acrobat(minimum: Standard version).

Second thoughts over coffee....
There are a few freeware PDF conversion programs available...I wonder if Adobe Reader would print the altered forms to one of those with the data intact? I may pursue this a little and let you know if I find a solution.

Ok...a solution...sort of....

http://www.pdf995.com

has a free PDF creator that can be printed to from Adobe Reader that sends the form and data to a new PDF file. Only problem is that the data becomes static info in the new PDF and can't be modified later. For a one-time data submission setup this should work. If folks need to modify data and resubmit, looks like Adobe Acrobat Standard is the way to go.
