to my understanding forms can be saved in reader if the "sender" has the
server extensions in place for this to happen. several years ago i was
doing research for a real estate company to put their forms in pdf
format so they could be filled out online or in the office and saved for
later printing when necessary.
what i found out was for this to happen you had to purchase a package
from adobe that cost several thousand dollars. needless to say the real
estate company passed on the idea.
