Next year, this wasn't possible anymore. That is, I could enter the values and print, but I couldn't save. It may be the switch from Acrobat 3 to 4, or whichever tool was used to create it was changed.

The only promising option was to buy a document server from Adobe, have all workstations use the latest Acrobat (v9 at the time, IIRC) and suffer the cost of about $6000. Various other tools which were promising this or that way to handle fields in PDF would either deliver files incompatible with several versions of Acrobat, or would require a special reader of their own... after a week of frantically reading the specs and API documents by several manufacturers, we had to drop the whole project.

Dragan,

what ever Acrobat is doing - it's gone. Modern UI == uninstall. Was the last point on an endless list. For now I use Calibre to display pdf - it's installed anyway as ebook reader. Filling forms with the pen is welcome break in work flow.

:)
