I need some help with Adobe Acrobat

Enforcer

Explorer
I took the official WotC character sheet and added a bunch of forms to it back when I had windows and Acrobat Professional 6.0. Now that I'm on a Mac, I'm left with a nice sheet but am unable to save it. However, from what I understand people with Acrobat 7.0 Professional can enable saving of forms in Acrobat Reader 7.0.

Does anyone have the software necessary to make this happen?

Actually, this was a misunderstanding of the features that Acrobat 7 was going to provide before the product was released. Acrobat Reader 7 has the ability to save Comments to a PDF with this feature enabled through Acrobat Professional 7, but NOT form data.

The only way to allow Acrobat Reader (any version) to save form data is to enable save rights using Adobe Livecycle Reader Extensions, which is a corporate server product from Adobe with a stupid price tag (ie: it's only affordable to large corporations and governments).

A demo can however be downloaded from Adobe, which works but places a large watermark on each page of the PDF. It however is only available for Windows, iirc.

The other option is to obtain a copy of either Adobe Acrobat Standard ($299 USD), or ArtsPDF Nitro PDF Professional ($99 USD); both of which will allow you to save form data.

Of course, you always just download and use a character sheet that has such features, such as my SSA-X2 D&D Character Sheet! :D
