Nice....I sold my jetski years ago.  EXCUSE ME for being stupid about every interworkings of all Adobe products. I thought that's what the forum was for asking questions you can't figure out on your own. I guess it's for making fun of others though. 

The form is made in Illustrator, then the fields were added in Acrobat.  Saved as a PDF.  You can read it in reader, fill it out in reader, and print it in reader.  However, I can't figure out how to save a electronic version of this form filled out. When trying to print it (filled out) from reader to distiller it hangs. 

Now. As far as why am I worried about someone changing the form itself (not the fields goofball - I realize they have to fill it out) is that its not ISO compliant in our case otherwise, and the department head wants it that way. I see no reason to question his request on this. Seemed simple enough to do.  

The forms are not on a web site.  They are on the server's drive.  

Bottom line: fill out the form (with out Acrobat, otherwise they can change it, and everyone who uses it would now have to have a license of it - seems dumb & $$$), print it (hardcopy), and make a filled out e-copy somehow (paperless version). 

Any body else please.
