Save Edited PDF Form On Web Server

I have a web application that will allow a user to load a pdf form with editable text boxes, within the browser.

once the user finishes the form, I'd like it to save and then the browser redirects to the list of files that they can view/edit.

 

I tried to create a save button but it doesn't just allow "Save" of the current document.

This doesn't have anything to do with Acrobat.  You'll need to speak with the creators of the web application

A fillable pdf form, made in Acrobat, has nothing to do with Acrobat? 
So there's no script that can be attached to a button within a pdf form that just saves the document to its current location?

Read your initial post again and point out, where an Adobe application is involved.

 

It seems to me, that you are overestimating the super power of Adobe:

Yes, you can make a button, but you need to know who (what program) is handling the pdf file. And where is this "current location"?
