-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Trying to save a "non-savable" Acrobat Doc

Why not simply use the Snag It Software that is offered free to 
do this?  It's an earlier version but would work when the form 
is on a website.  Not sure if it would work for PDF but hey, it 
might cause the PDF is in your browser.

I downloaded it, got the key and it worked beautifully.

HB,
    If you downloaded it, the document is already on your hard 
drive and
therefore, saved.  What's being limited is your ability to save 
your own
answers within the document.  If it's important for you to have 
a record of
your own answers to these questions, there is a workaround, but 
it's rather
convoluted and requires additional software to accomplish.

    Open up the PDF and answer all of the questions.  Next, take 
an ALT+PRT
SCR screenshot of the open document, Paste it into Paint and use 
"Save as"
to save it as a JPG file in My Documents (give it an easy name 
you can
remember).  If the questions span longer than what shows in the 
window,
scroll down and repeat as necessary to get the rest (add 
numbers, 2, 3, 4,
etc. to the end of the same name you used above).  Once all 
questions &
answers are showing in the saved JPGs, run an OCR app (Optical 
Character
Recognition) on the image files to convert them back to text. 
Finally, open
up a blank text file and Copy/Paste each of the results into 
this file to
combine them, removing any duplicate info in the process.  In 
the end,
you'll end up with a text version of the filled out document.

    I never said it would be easy or simple.            :O)

Peace,
