I have a Windows copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0, and a number of
PDF files containing fields to be filled out by the user. Using the
software above I can edit such files and save them even when partially
edited. However, as is well known, with Adobe Acrobat Reader one can fill
out the fields, but not save the resulting PDF file.

	The question is, is it possible to modify the original PDF file from
Acrobat Professional, so that the resulting PDF file can be edited and
saved from Acrobat Reader? It must be possible to do so, for I remember
coming across such forms (the 1040, of all the forms.)

	The problem is that I have a bunch of Linux users for whom Acrobat
Professional is not an option :-( I just wonder if Adobe is ever going
to come up with such a product for Linux?
