Is there a way, with any adobe product, to have a document on your server then have a user open that document make changes and save that document back on the server.

Ideal what we want, is to have a form that the user will have to fill in there company name and some other information and have that document saved in there folder on our servers. So the user does not have to make these changes everytime they need to fill out these documents.

These are federal documents so they can be very lengthy.
 
Are you planning to have this document on your web server where the user can access it via your web site? And I assume you would like this to be an editable PDF form? More info needed.
 
yes this document will be on our web server. Pdf is preferred but we can use .doc or .rtf files anything widly used with formatting abilities. And each client will have there own folder on the server as well.

So they first login and will get a generic document, then they make changes to it save it in there folder, and next time they come in they can go to there new document.
 
Well I'm not a web programmer, but a PDF file that is created to be editable would suffice. You would need Adobe Acrobat to distill the original document (rtf, Word etc)to an editable PDF file. How they would load that file up via your website is a mystery to me. However, they could go directly to their folder on your server (where this document is located) via FTP. Of course you would still have a login/password for them to access their folder I assume. Hope this helped.
