Question

Reader users cannot fill in or save the form

Whenever I save an editable PDF and send it to someone, when they open it to edit they cannot. A purple banner comes up saying "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."

How can I save a PDF without this happening such that others can also edit and save?

Thanks

    The others should use Acrobat Reader DC.

    Yes, but the others work for large companies and cannot upgrade their software.

    Is there anyway I can get around this?

    Not with Acrobat Reader.
