Many people are facing issue in saving PDF files which
allow them to edit the fields created in PDF forms. The users can edit the PDF
but unable to save the new data. In fact the PDF viewer itself (as depicted in
pics) gives a warning that the “Please fill out the following form. You cannot
save data typed in this form . Please print your complete form if you would
like copy for your records”.

| Unable to save pdf data |
Many users are getting confused on how to enable saving of filled-in fields on PDF form.
There does not seems to be a direct way to bypass the restriction to save the
PDF form data in the file. If you try to save and close the file, next time you
will open the file you won’t see any of the changes you have made. This is
annoying for users and all the data typed gets lost.

Open your PDF in Google Chrome. Edit the PDF as you
want. Hit ctrl + p. Now rather than choosing printer; Save as PDF to your desktop/any folder. The
PDF file saved will have complete data now. Please note that the PDF you get will save the
filled info but will not have fillable forms anymore.

Solution 2 : enable usage rights
For Acrobat 8, or 9 users, select "enable usage
rights" from the Advanced menu. This will add about 20 kb to the pdf. The
other possibility is to use CutePDF Pro, add a submit button and have the XFDF
data submitted to your self as an email or to a web server. The XFDF data can
then reload the original PDF with your data.
Solution 3 : Save as Reader Extended PDF
In Acrobat XI, (Close Form Editing if open) File >
Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
