Can I fill in an Acrobat 6.0 form in Reader?

[bekibutton]

I think I may be confusing myself :-(

I've created a form with text fields and checkboxes in Acrobat 6.0.

I thought I would be able to fill in this form in Acrobat Reader, save it and send it, but it doesn't work in either my Reader 5.0 or I.T.'s Reader 7.0.8. What have I done wrong? Or can you only fill in Acrobat forms in Acrobat and not Reader?

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Becki

Hi BB,

you've got it, if you want to save anything in Acrobat, you have to do it in the full version and leave Reader for viewing...

Q. Can I save Adobe PDF forms in Adobe Reader after I have filled out a PDF form?
A. Yes, provided your form has had the "local save" capability turned on with Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions. Team members both inside and outside an organization have access to and can interact with forms. You can easily open, fill out and submit PDF forms, even from handheld devices and over wireless connections. However, if the "local save" capability has not been activated in your PDF form, you will not be able to save the form data with Adobe Reader.
