...I want to make a PDF to send via e-mail, for other people to open up in READER, not Acrobat, make a few text changes, then save w/ those changes intact. I don't want to DISTRIBUTE, via Acrobat, the file, as I don't need clients to return the file w/ those changes. I simply want to send them something they can make a few changes to & keep for themselves. Any suggestions?

You can create form fields in a PDF using Acrobat Pro that the "other people" can edit and save. That way you control what they can and can't change.
- They can edit in Acrobat Reader, btwmonospaced
- but they can't save in reader.... Worked with this problem before it actually requires weird specialist database work.dan5382

Hey Remixt, dan5382, your PDF actually CAN be saved in Reader. You don't need any "weird specialist database work" on your end, you just have to "Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader," which is an obscure function in Pro.
The reason I'm still arguing is two-fold: 1) I'm trying to help, and 2) I've done this before, successfully. I can show you an example if you like.
