Mit dem kostenlosen Adobe Reader können ausgefüllte PDF Formulare nicht abgespeichert, sondern nur gedruckt werden.
Eine sehr gute Alternative zum Adobe Reader ist das kostenlose Programm PDF XChange Viewer von der Firma Tracker Software.
Der PDF XChange Viewer steht auch als "Portable Version" zur Verfügung.
Das Programm ist beim Öffnen von PDF Dateien deutlich schneller als der Adobe Reader und verfügt in den meisten Fällen über einen ausreichenden Funktionsumfang [Quelle Tracker Software]:
