Cannot save PDF form.

I have Adobe Acrobat Reader and I have to fill out blank pdf forms from time to time. I need to be able to save them, but I'm assuming because I only have reader that is why I can't save the forms. Is there a free version of acrobat that will allow me to save the form?

What version of Acrobat Reader?

It's Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. If I try to save the form it tells me this below

Are you sure it's Reader DC? Look under Help - About Adobe Reader.

Yes, It says Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

In that case it's a special kind of form that prevents saving with the filled-in data in Reader. Contact the author and ask them for a solution. There's nothing you can do about it.

Reader DC can save filled-in forms. Make sure you upgrade to that version. If you did and it still doesn't work there's another factor at hand here. Possibly, the file itself is set as read-only.
