Using practicelaw's Upgraded PDF Forms

We’ve received a number of questions over the last several weeks as we made the upgrade from Adobe Acrobat 8 to Adobe Acrobat 9. The upgrade allowed us to enable an important feature: saving client data in the forms that you download to your computer. Previously, licensing issues with Adobe prevented us from enabling this feature. Now, users can download the forms, open them in Adobe Reader 9, and enter client data. When finished, the user’s data is saved in the form. This change, which is a long time coming, will minimize the need for many attorneys to buy expensive Adobe or other PDF software that will enable them to save client data in PDF forms. But some questions remain, and we have now produced a very short video (just over 2 1/2 minutes) explaining the change and how to save the PDF forms to your computer. Hope it helps.
