I was assuming that a) the form is a fill-in-certain-fields type form, not
that he wanted to edit the form itself, and b) that he had some reason for
not wanting Adobe Reader on his system, which of course allows you to fill
in the blanks. Our answer to saving that, which Adobe doesn't want you to
do, is to print it to the pdfprinter driver. It's uneditable after that,
of course.
