How is it possible that I was able to fill out a form using Adobe Reader DC but wasn't able to edit it after I saved it? My friend used the same software and was able to save it multiple times while filling out the form.

There are at least 2 methods to fill-in PDF forms with Adobe Reader. There is just entering data into the form fields and then there is the Fill & Sign option which does not fill-in the form fields but places text over the form field and the placed text is not editable.

Thank you for the info. Assuming that I did the second option you mentioned, how is it possible for her to edit hers? We filled out the same form and used the same software.
