If the user is only going to be posting the data back to a server -  
then you don't need to add any special rights to the PDF.  Reader can  
happily post data...

However, if you wish the user to actually save the PDF to their local  
disk, then you do indeed need Acrobat (or LiveCycle Reader  
Extensions) to enable that option.
