You can always set your forms up in html then use one of the bajillion
printer drivers that drops to PDF.

Thats true, but this a published form created by a professional body. All I
can do is fill the form out using Adobe AR and then print off a paper copy -
I can't save the completed form.

To return to the previous suggestion, if you can fill it out and print to
paper, can't you also then just print it to a virtual PDF printer driver so
that your changes print with it to the new PDF document?

Unfortunately, Tomahawk PDF+ can't open a .pdf file, so it doesn't help

Sometimes Acrobat AR forbids that.

That's what I've found. I'll have to pursue the ghostscript route.

Sometimes Acrobat AR forbids that. You can then usually print to a PostScript file and convert
it to PDF using GhostScript.

Did you try 'Tools\Extract from PDF' ?
