I want to allow users to save data that they type in on my PDF Form. In the older versions, I can do this by enabling the usage rights. Error message says, this document could not be reader enabled.

This anwser below was posted. This does not work as there in no reader extended pdf in the drop down, when you select save as.

 

Open the pdf in Acrobat.
Go to File > Save As > Reader Extended Pdf > Enable Additional Features.
This will allow users to save form data even when using Adobe Reader to view it.

Reader (rights) extending, is no longer necessary to save form data in Adobe Reader.  Hasn't been for a while.
