[wplug] [OT] Acrobat's mysterious messages

Because you can't write directly to a pdf? Hence Acrobat *Reader*
You can type in and print many pdf forms as well.

It looks as if Adobe has been taking lessons from Microsoft.  If not,
they've certainly picked up MS' ability to provide cryptic and mostly
useless error messages.

Acrobat reader 7 says
"Data typed into this form will not be saved.  Acrobat Reader 7 can only
save a blank copy of this form."

With _absolutely_no_indication_of_why_!

The Windows and Linux versions both give me similar messages.

Does anyone know WTF is going on with this?  Are both of my installations of
AR flawed?  Is something wrong with the PDF provided to me?  Is AR simply
crippled and unable to do this?

I haven't been able to find anything online regarding these messages - at
least, nothing helpful.
