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?

No idea if it can be done with Acrobat Professional. This one appears to have been produced with QuarkXpress 6.1: http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/pdf/br19/br19printapr06.pdf -- Jeff (cut "thetape" to reply)
