Create the *complete* AcroForm first, including all contemplated form fields and "submit" actions. 2. Use Acrobat 8 to make the Acroform Reader-Enabled. The user will then be able to work the AcroForm offline and later, submit the filled AcroForm. Note that the submit action requires that the AcroForm is displayed in the browser, with Reader as the plugin, at the time the submit action is employed. This has worked for me. YMMV.
