I filled up all the fields with data but could not save the file with the data.

Please help as I don't want to restart and fill up the data again. I found that if I go to Advance and then Extend Features in Adobe Reader, I can fill in the form again and save and print it. But that is before I fill in the data, Now that I filled in before I set it to Extend Features, is there a way to save and print?

Thank you.

Hi.

You cannot Reader-extend a PDF form with Adobe Reader, it requires Acrobat Pro.

Adobe Reader X and older versions cannot save a not-extended filled PDF form, but it can be printed* in any case.

Adobe Reader XI and Acrobat Reader DC can save and print* a filled PDF form, extended or not.

Acrobat Pro or Standard (all versions) can save and print* a filled PDF form, extended or not.

* Assuming no file printing restriction
