Saving a form locally involves Reader enabling the PDF. Reader enabling unlocks specific functionality Adobe Reader, so that it behaves as if it were Adobe Acrobat. Saving a filled in form is a typical example of such functionality. Reader enabling can only be done with Adobe Software. Why? Because the extended functionality in Adobe Reader can only be unlocked for documents that are digitally signed using a private key owned by Adobe. No third party is allowed to use this private key. As you have found out trying out different approaches, there is no workaround. It should also be obvious that you can't encrypt a PDF in append mode: how would you encrypt content by just appending extra bytes??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
