Hi, just started using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, I am trying to create some PDF forms for employees to use for forms we have to fill out for clients. When I save the new PDF form, it does not give me the option to save a form as a Reader Enabled form (thus meaning everyone using Reader can not save the form unless they print it as a PDF.)
This will not work, as we are only needing to prefill the forms, then send them to the client so they can prefill the rest of them or make changes if needed. It will let me save them fine in Adobe Acrobat, but it is not affordable to have every single employee buy Adobe Acrobat.
I've seen on forums that this feature used to be available for previous versions. Please tell me there is a way to save fillable forms in Adobe Acrobat and then have someone using Adobe Reader able to save that form.

Reader 11 and DC are able to save non-enabled forms, unless they are XFA forms created with LiveCycle Designer.
If you want to Reader-enable a document with Acrobat DC, select: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
