To allow users to SAVE data in their PDF (using Acrobat, not just Reader),
please read:
>>>
Enable Reader users to save form data
Ordinarily, Reader users can’t save filled-in copies of forms that they
complete. However, you can extend rights to Reader users so they have the
ability to do so. These extended rights also include the ability to add
comments, use the Typewriter tool, and digitally sign the PDF.
1. Open a single PDF, or select one or more PDFs in a PDF Portfolio.
2. Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
These extended privileges are limited to the current PDF. When you create a
different PDF form, you must perform this task again if you want to enable
Reader users to save their own filled-in copies of that PDF.
