Question

Attach files to editable PDF form then save as issue

I'm setting up a series of grant applications as editable PDF forms.  The applicant will download the PDF and open with adobe reader, fill it out, attach files with essays or charts, then save as. I have an Attach button that: View/Show/navigation pane/attachments and then calls the attach function.  The File/save as button just calls the file/save as function.

On most computers, this works fine. But on some computers, the file/save as button doesn't do anything. If the applicant goes to the menu and chooses file/save as, it works fine.

Any ideas on what might be wrong? I'm not sure where to start looking.

Here's an example:  Submit Jefferson Grant -

Thanks for your help!

This is the link that has the PDF.

Ask the people for whom it's not working what application they're using (it's better to get full-window screenshots, if possible), including the exact version number. My guess is they're not using Adobe software to open the file.

The link you provided is to a web form. Is this issue with a PDF file, or a web-page?
