As Leonard pointed out to you, the only way Reader can save an AcroForm with
the data intact is for the AcroForm to have extensions enabled by Acrobat 8
that permit saving the filled form.
OTOH, you have mentioned you want to be able to save the form data. If this is
what you really want users to be able to do, you can make it possible by adding
a "submit" action to your AcroForm that submits the form data to a server-side
script that captures the submitted data and returns same to the client-side
user to be saved. This author recommends that you use an HTML (URL-encoded
name=value pairs) formatted submit action, as this will ensure the greatest
possible number of versions of Reader, acting as a plugin in the client-side
browser, will support the submit action. See http://segraves.tripod.com for
links to examples that may be helpful to you.
Finally, if you decide to employ server-side processing of form data, you
should be thoroughly familiar with restrictions in the Reader EULA.
Best regards,
Bill Segraves
