How to create pdf with Acrobat Pro 7 that can be edited/saved by user

Found the link to this and lost it!!!!  Now I'm wasting time trying to figure it out again - 3 hours!!!!!  The pdf with fields has been created with Acrobat.  When I tested it with Adobe Reader, it won't allow the end user to save the file - fill and print ONLY.  On Friday, I was able to find a work-around, but now I've forgotten.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi Tiggerc,

    If you have  Acrobat Pro 7 or higher you can add Reader Enabling Rights to the PDF that will allow user with the free Adobe Reader to both fill and save the form.

    You will find it under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 7 with wording similar to "Extend in Adobe Reader" or "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader".  After you have selected that menu item just follow the dialog prompts.

    Let me know if you have any other question
