Adobe Acrobat/Single PDF fillin form will not save by Reader 9

Question
I have a fillin PDF form that allows entry and saving on other peoples computers but not mine. I have Reader 9.4 installed and can read and save the other pdf forms. Why would one form single me out for a refusal to save? For that matter, why is Reader allowing me to save the other forms with data entered? Acrobat is not installed on this machine.
Hi Donald,
Sounds like the form in question has security set to not allow saving. Unfortunately, you will need to go back to Acrobat Pro in order to turn this off. If you still don't have permissions, you will need the form's originator to re-save the document without security.
Thanks,
Ken Black

| Comment | The forms are sent from the government and as everyone else can save them as fill-n forms, I suspect the government has not singled me out to keep me from saving them by tweaking a secrurity setting just for me. Whatever is going on must be too obscrure and one off. I will use FoxIt as an alternative to get around the problem but if any other anomaly crops up, I will probably have to reinstall Acrobat Pro. | ||
