Creating a Fillable Form to email to be completed, then returned via email, how to do it?

Couldn't you just send it as an attachment with instructions to fill out the form and email it back to you as an attachment? Or am I missing something here?

I have created the form in Word, then saved it as a PDF and using Adobe Acrobat Pro created a form. I know how to save the form and attach it to an email. However, when the person receives the email and opens the pdf document, it will not let them 'save' it. They can complete the form and print it, but they can not SAVE it to attach back to the email and return it to me. They can only save it if they have Adobe Acrobat Pro version. If they only have Adobe reader they will not be able to save it. Do I need to change the way I format the document as a fillable form so it can be completed, without them being able to change the 'layout of the form'.????

The "Tools" menu described is on the second toolbar below the file menu (where the zoom etc. is located) on the right hand side.

I contacted our CTS department where I work and they helped me to figure it out. After you create a form in Word document, then saved it as a PDF file. My Adobe Acrobat Pro will open, go to Tools, and Edit. Edit the form to create fields, etc. Once you have that completed and your form is ready. Go to "File, Save As, Reader Extended PDF, then 'Enable Additional Features'... another window opens and then click on "Save Now". That did it. I was able to send this form to anyone via email. They could complete the form and save it to their desktop. Then it can be attached to an email and returned. I'm able to open the 'Completely filled out form'. I tried the other man's suggestion. However, at the time of creating the form I do not have a complete list of people to email.

You can also use the built-in form distribution tools in Acrobat X Std. or Pro. to automate the process of collecting form data via email. Here is a video tutorial that explains one of the ways to automate the collection of form data.
