Hello - I have a few questions about Acrobat forms. First, suppose an organization has obtained rights to redistribute "fillable forms" (ie: the IRS and the form 1040 and other government or state forms for example). Here are my questions: 1. I noticed that it seems the form will save in Acrobat Reader 8 and not the Reader version 9. Why might this be? 2. Can a developer of software freely "redistribute" those forms in a software package? In other words, an end user can download the PDF fillable forms (such as Form 1040 or perhaps a state form, etc) but can a software developer then download those forms and then redistribute them in their own software program? 3. What is this 500 limit all about? Is it that a form can only be "filled out" in the Acrobat Reader 500 times? Or does the 500 apply to something else? 4. Where on Adobe's web site can I find this information in their licensing agreements? Thanks, Mike
