There is no (legal) way to "extend" (rights-enable, reader-enable, etc.) PDF forms without paying Adobe for a license. You can get individual form licenses, but the per-form cost would probably provide 5-10 of your staff with new PCs with change left over. There are a few products out there that provide the same end-result, just not with the same simplicity as Adobe's Reader Extended forms. One is called pdf-Form Server from OVIS (http://shop.pdf-office.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=29&lan guage=en) and it's priced a fair amount cheaper than outfitting all your users with Approval or Acrobat. A while ago I thought I was the only one who was confused about Adobe's "new" PDF technology in regards to local saves. It appears to be one of the most common misunderstandings (is that too kind?) in the industry, however. IMHO - I hope Adobe will start to listen to their client's needs a little more closely and perhaps even disclose what it takes to use PDFs as eForm technology. Good luck.

How do I "Reader-enable" a form ? According to the Reader 6 user guide we now can not only fill-in a form and print the form with the Reader but save it - with - the contents of the filled in form if the form was created with Acrobat 6 & Distiller 6. This was a huge argument for our department(s) to upgrade some work stations with Acrobat Professional 6 (inclusive mine). However, no matter what setting variation I try when creating the file & form, the moment I try to fill in fields with Reader 6, an info is displayed that this requires the full Acrobat version to save it with text. Any idea? Both manuals Reader v6 and Acro Pro v6 are not very specific regarding any setting for this particular feature :-( Regards, Hans ===================== Hans Maerker --------------------------------------- 'A r t P r i n t S e r v i c e' Digital Imaging & Graphics Desktop Publishing --------------------------------------- Vancouver, WA, USA Tel: +360.891.8977 Fax: +360.896.4222 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===================== To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfforms.html To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfforms.html
