Want people to be able to edit and save your Adobe PDF forms? Normally, Adobe Reader users can’t save filled in copies of forms that they complete.

However, you can extend rights to users of Reader 8 and later so they can do so. In Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended, these rights also include the ability to add comments, use the Typewriter tool, and digitally sign the PDF.

Open a single PDF, or preview a component PDF in a PDF Portfolio. If you are editing the form, click “Close Form Editing” in the upper right corner of the form.

Do one of the following. In Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended choose “Advanced” then “Extend Features” in Adobe Reader.
In Standard only choose “Advanced” then “Extend Forms Fill In & Save In Adobe Reader”.

These extended privileges are limited to the current PDF. When you create a different PDF form, you must perform this task again to enable Reader users to save their own filled in copies of that particular PDF.

There’s no reason for you to struggle with your computer problems. If you’re ready for a quick computer fix, you might want to contact one of our online technical support specialists, to perform the correct troubleshooting steps.
