HMM ... I have Adobe Acrobat Reader v 7.0.1 and I cannot fill out the form I have. I checked under the About Adobe Plugins and it claims to have the Forms plugin installed. When I go to save the original form (off the web site) I get a message that says "This document does not allow you to save any changes unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard or Professional ... etc " I guess I don't have quite the right version. I will check out Adobe and see if I have to buy something. BobLQ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
