Macbook/Acrobat/Adobe

Before I purchase Acrobat or Adobe?, I need to know it will work for what I need.  I have a 6 year macbook (MacOsX 10.6.8).  Is it possible to generate a fillable pdf, enter the data, save it, open it up in the future and add/delete data and save again?  Do I need adobe or acrobat?  Assume complete ignorance when it comes to pdfs.  I have a fillable pdf but I can only save a blank copy, no entered data.

    Hi venomgal,

    If you'd like to create fillable forms, then Acrobat XI is a great choice. It is compatible with your version of Mac OS (Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro).

    Here's some basic information about working with forms in Acrobat, so you can get an idea of what's involved: Form creator | Adobe Acrobat XI

    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

    You can download a trial of Acrobat XI Pro, fully functional for 30 days.

    Ok, signed up for 30 day trial and it worked.  Except I am concerned about "save to online account" part, as I prefer to save it to my desktop only.  This is a one page medical progress note and I cannot have patient information disseminated.   Is there a way to opt out of "save to online account".  How secure is online account?

    Tried to send screen shot of online saving. I do not see it in discussion.


    To include a screenshot, use the Insert Image icon (the camera icon) in the toolbar above.

    Thanks!
