I open a pdf file, fill it out and then I need to send it to another department so they can fill in a slot and the file is now unwritable. All I do is click on the disc up top that says save to computer. Is there a setting I need to change to stop acrobat pro from saving file as unwritable?

If you could share the file with us will review it and share our findings.
