Can I embed "open in reader only" settings into a document, not browser settings?

I need a FORM to open ONLY in the reader by anyone who opens it (assuming they have reader) and NOT open in any browser. If the form opens in a browser, the filled in info does not save...if opened in reader, the filled in info saves. Are there settings I can save into the document itself that will force this?

This should be a document default, not a browser setting...as I cannot control the browser settings of every PC everywhere.

Thank you!

The best you can do is hide the contents of the file and then use a script to show them, when the script identifies that the file is opened in an Adobe application.

try67 - thanks for that. But, I have no idea what that means! :-) I'm not a techie. Is this easy to do for a lay person?

No, not really. It requires setting up the file in a specific way and embedding a script in it that will perform what I've described above.
