Just so I'm clear, I do NOT have the reader installed on my PCs anymore (3
and/or 4), hence the real thing (3 and/or 4) loads into the browser and
works just like the real thing from within the browser. So you can do a
saveas after you have edited a PDF file and then use CFFILE to have the
user upload the new saved as copy to the Server if that is the only
functionality you are after.
For only a few users that is the cheapest way to go. If you are working
with say 50 users (50x$225), then activePDF ($2000 or so) may be a
cheaper/better way to go.

Believe you are right...
If Windows has access to both the reader and the real think, it will load
the reader in the browser instead of the "real" thing -- think that is what
happened to me with 3.0, so I had to uninstall both the 3.0 reader and real
thing when I installed the real 4.0 on my laptop. Damn computers!

I believe browsers just load the reader plug-in. You were not editting the
pdf's in the reader, but in the full blown acrobat environment (or
distiller
or some other pdf writing environment).
That's what I'm guessing, anyway.

Hmmm strange... maybe my browser plugins are not up to date or
something. All i have in the browser plugin is the tool bar at the top. I
dont have the tool bar on the left side that lets you edit.
I cannot edit PDFs at all in the browser, but i can in my Acrobat
program. The PDFs are some test files i created without any password
protection.
Thanks for the feedback. It appears there is something really screw up
with my installation.
