    Upgrading to Acrobat Pro XI / Adobe Reader XI and enabling user rights

      My company is a little behind on software updates and I'm going to ask for Adobe Reader XI  to pushed out company wide since allows the user to save a filled-in PDF form.

      Right now I'm using Acrobat Pro X, and suspect I will need to upgrade as well.

       

      My questions are:

       

      • With the new-found ability of Reader to finally be able to save a filled in form, how does this effect the "enabling user rights" scenario?
        Is it needed if the entire company is using Adobe Reader XI?

       

      I did a test in Adobe Reader XI, and sure enough, I was able to save a filled-in form...BUT, I could not digitally sign the form.

      • Is this where the enabling user rights is still mandatory?
      • Or is this because the form was designed in Acrobat Pro X?
      • Does Acrobat Pro XI work around this?
      • I know I don't need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro XI to continue making forms, but should I?

       

      Thanks for your feed back, and I look forward to reading your replies
