    Hi all. I hope you can help me with this one.

    I've created a simple PDF-form with some text fields to be filled out. The problem is that the ones I sent it to say that they can't save it with the content they fill in and they can't even print it. Any ideas to what I'm doing wrong? They are opening it in Adobe Reader.

    I teTed the pdf in the exact version they’re using and it works fine on my Mac.

    Hi. Try this with your form using Acrobat: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (Includes Form Fill-in & Save).
