Hi Pieter,
I did a quick test... created a form using writer, exported a PDF, then added some data
(text box, check boxes) using Acrobat Reader v8 and Foxit PDF reader.
With acrobat, I cannot save. Foxit allows me to save and the changes are there
if
I then open the file using acrobat. Foxit is a free for any use program.
The other suggestion, which Mike has put forth, is to install a pdf print
driver to output
the filled in form as a pdf. There is an advantage to using this method,
as the form can't be changed after submission.

Hi Anthony,
I've tried the Foxit reader and found it very good and it does all you said. This is what the
Acrobat Reader should do with my forms. It seems almost obvious Adobe prevents other programs to
make fully capable PDF forms. In a way I can understand them, but I also think it undermines a bit
the future of their product as it seems other software houses will take over the lower budget
markets by making their products more capable.
Still, if anyone should have an idea to make it work also with the 'standard'
PDF viewer?
Regards,
Pieter
