Okay, but then why would you have an interactive form that you can't
save the data from?
Personally, I don't know, but I do know that some of the
administrations I
work with in France do precisely that ; the forms they make
available are
editable, but can not be saved :-( which is about as much use as
a wet paper
bag full of tinned cat food :))
For Adobe this is good, you can buy a licence for their product
(forgotten the name) and that actually can save filled out form data.
Maybe it's a bug in acroread 7.
Has anyone tried other PDF-readers?
There are at least xpdf, acrobatviewer (java, seems to come from
adobe,
too), ggv, the KDE-incarnation of a viewer, mgv, gv, gpdf, ...
Well I just tried the pdf form I made the my clients said they could
not save the data when using that. It was generated from
OpenOffice.org and exported to FPDF format. I loaded it into Preview
(the PDF viewer under Mac OS X) and added data and then chose Save As
and saved it as a new PDF file and reloaded it. The data was there -
so it may be a matter of the reader as Marc has suggested.
