Saving fillable PDF docs

I'm slow! How many people fill out these fillable forms and and finding out
you can onlt print them out, but can't can't save them? After years of silently
$icthing about not being able to save these after filling them out, I suddenly
realized I could 'print' them to a PDF converter such as Cute PDF or PrimoPDF,
then save them as PDFs! Where have I been all these years?

I Wouldn't Say You're Slow...

...just maybe not up to speed & that's not intended to be a criticism. I discovered PrimoPDF on this board several years ago when someone brought up a tech related subject. I was clueless about it before my eyes were opened. One can learn a lot from message boards like NotRot about all sorts of topics.

Speaking of all sorts of topics & having your eyes opened...the NetFlix question of the day is:

What team at 14-6 currently sports the best record in all of Major League Baseball?

(BTW, the answer to THIS NetFlix question IS very obvious...no need to venture an absurd, nonsensical guess like the Codgers or the Cubs)

Fill-able forms in what format? PDF? Word? Both of them can be saved (save a copy), if you fill them in using the appropriate application, such as Adobe Reader and Microsoft Word.

PAW, often I'll use Foxit reader to fill in forms that are NOT 'fillable' which give the
me that message, but today, I was trying to fill one with Adobe Reader, and I got the
same message, so I did the print to PDF and it worked. It was on a State of Va. website.
