Ok, so I finally found some answers & thought I would share for those that may want to know....

Adobe Reader (I think 8.0 and above) CAN save a pdf file. One would just have to go to file, print, then change the printer option to "Adobe PDF" & chose the location to save. It will do some crazy things, but then will save a copy of what you have typed within the form. You will NOT be able to go back into it and change anything after saving - only print.

There is actually no Acrobat version or additional software I can purchase that will allow Adobe Reader users to modify fillable forms after they have saved. They would need to have Adobe standard (or pro). And now that I understand the financial aspects of this, I get why Adobe Reader is just "a Reader" program....
