This is not about interfering with Adobe Reader, but about the Flag in PDF.
There was an article about different PDF tools in a German magazine some weeks ago (Heise Verlag, c't, issue 11). There was some information that PDF (since format v1.5?) has a flag which controls if forms can be stored via Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader will evaluate that flag. So this would be a very simple feature to enable it, but... Regarding to the article, Adobe allows everybody to write tools for PDF creation, but does *not* allow any non-Adobe-tool to set that flag.
