The posts in this forum suggest that it is not possible to save Reader files to disk. I own the full version - 5.05 - and Adobe supplies on the CD version 5 of Acrobat Reader. When I run Reader - not the full version - there apppears on the FILE menu, 'SAVE A COPY'. I can run Reader, open a PDF file that I previously created using the full version, and am allowed to save a copy to disk.
Is this only because this Reader version is smart enough to know that I also own the full version?

You can save files with Reader all you want. What you can't do with Reader (subject to an essentially irrelevant exception) is save a filled in form *with* the filled in data. This has nothing to do with the fact that you also have Acrobat.

Mike - thanks. I assume the irrelevent exception is the $75K server extension.
Dumb question: Why would Abode limit the functionality of Acrobat by not allowing form data to be saved? I assume their infinite wisdom was that they would sell more server extensions.

No, more Acrobats. When they made that decision there was no server extensions
