[DM-MUG] Acrobat

[Ray Bowler]

Thanks everybody. It is easy to fill in the form my wife has and it will save and print. If I reopen one which I have filled in the information is there but if I change anything it will not save again. 
Preview willl probably do all I need to do.

The only reason to get Acrobat Pro (or just Acrobat) is if you need to save a PDF with the information filled in. Most readers cannot do that, and those that can do not do it well. If you get to where you feel you need to shell out money to do this, I recommend taking a look at PDFPen / PDFPen Pro from Smile. Much cheaper and does some things better/easier than Acrobat does.
